Summary/Abstract: This paper aims at setting a conceptual framework for the analyses of the low intensity conflicts (LIC), providing a set of definitions of this concept and commentaries regarding the nature of this kind of conflicts and their implications for the features of warfare in the 21st century. The paper also provides some definitions of the subcategories of low intensity conflict, e.g. insurgency, counterinsurgency, special operations and military operations other than war. The analysis then focuses on the political and military inferences of the low intensity conflicts on security in post-conflict rehabilitation process (rules of engagement, the influence on intelligence gathering, the role of technology in preparing the theatre of operations).
