Summary/Abstract: After the Second World War, the process of transformation of security policies and strategies had to adapt to the realities of the time. Therefore, the political-military leadership had to understand that the information, public opinion, morale, mind and soul of the human being, motivation to fight are decisive in gaining victory. As such, the next step was to integrate all these realities in the military science regarding warfare. In this respect, the author points out the main stages of these transformations: the perception of information warfare and the new revolutionary doctrine of the 1999-2011. As the author writes, in 2025, unconventional threats will be characterised by: increasing information, evolution of irregular warfare capabilities, primacy of unmilitary aspects of warfare.
