CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING INFORMATION WARFARE AND COMPETITIONS IN THE CURRENT GLOBAL SECURITY ENVIRONMENT

Summary/Abstract: The idea of warfare using information as a weapon is not new. Yet, many experts from different countries consider information warfare more and more actual, due to the evolution of information technology. The recent attention given to information warfare does not mark the birth of a new form of conflict. Rather, it marks a significant change in the implications of an old one. This is the main idea that embraces the approach of the present paper. By comparing different views on information warfare, through the evolution of global security environment, we are better able to understand from the opposite perspectives which are the security issues that challenge the actors or might become opportunities for them to prevail. Also, hybrid warfare is equally one of the major challenges that nations face in current times and therefore it must be considered increasingly more.Moreover, information warfare implications in the current global security environment can be better understood to the extent that it is observed and analyzed in the context of recent conflicts.
