DIFFUSED WAR AS A KIND OF NON-LINEAR WAR

Summary/Abstract: The classical linear war is nowadays changing into rebel, mutinous, non-linearwarfare, without apparent fronts and clearly determined opponents. Its three mainfactors are understood differently: strength (power), time and space. The maindeterminant of a country's power is no longer the population, territory, or even thestrength of the economy. The most important factor is the social morale, the identity andintegrity of societies and nations, and the ability to impose its vision of political order onother societies. Public diplomacy (including cultural diplomacy) becomes more importantthan classical diplomacy. The leading form of realization of political goals becomes aninformation war, understood as a mass impact on the sphere of consciousness of wholesocieties, aimed at the exchange of their views in a specific area of life. Diffused war is astrategic concept assuming a dispersed, simultaneous attack on many directions andplanes of organization of political and social life of the opponent, bypassing the existinglegal order (national and international).
