Journal Title: Vojenske rozhledy - Year 2017, Vol 26, Issue 2
Abstract
The aim of the paper is description and analysis of the transformationof the concept of hybrid war. The Russian intervention in Ukraine in2014 meant principal re-definition of the concept which is reflectedin the contemporary views on the hybrid wars and hybrid threats.The concept of hybrid war had been questioned in the past already ashis validity and the efforts to be applied on the past conflicts deformedits innovative content. One could argue, that adding new dimensionsand topic such as economic factors, ideological activity etc. brings riskof concept´s expansion which goes far behind of the framework ofthe phenomenon of the war and the use of armed forces in the armedconflicts. The author draws attention to the fact that the definition ofhybrid war tends to be subordinate to the current needs, which in turnonly hinders their explanation potential.
