Countering Hybrid Threats: In Search of a More Strategic Approach
Countering Hybrid Threats: In Search of a More Strategic Approach

Summary/Abstract: The sceptic camp argues that the concepts ‘Hybrid warfare’ and ‘Hybrid threats’ are too broad or vague, or just new buzz words for an old phenomena with an existing conceptualisation (‘grey zone’, sub-threshold activities, 4th generation warfare). While most of the scepticism addresses the shaky foundations of the concept, Hybrid methods have played an important role in the policy world. It is also important to move beyond reactive/responsive strategies for countering Hybrid threats that are mainly based on resilience-building. A growing body of research provides valuable insights on how to develop a more strategic approach to deal with Hybrid activities.
