HYBRID CONDUCT DETERMINATIONS IN THE CURRENT INTERNATIONAL SYSTEM AND THE NEW TYPES OF THREATS DERIVED FROM EMERGENT CONFLICTS
HYBRID CONDUCT DETERMINATIONS IN THE CURRENT INTERNATIONAL SYSTEM AND THE NEW TYPES OF THREATS DERIVED FROM EMERGENT CONFLICTS

Summary/Abstract: Recent developments in the global security environment - such as the crisis in Ukraine and the terrorism resurgence - have reopened the international relations (IR) and security studies debates on the reconfiguration of the international system and the emergence of the revolutionary changes in modern warfare. This paper highlights how geostrategic competition shapes the actors’ hybrid assertive conduct within the international system. We will describe how the confrontations between actors are influenced by the remodeling tendencies and manifestations in the international system and we will point out that the hybrid and diffuse actions, located at the boundary between peace and war, remain a valid option for the emerging actors to contesting the influence of the globally dominant power (aiming to legitimize the multipolar international system).
