Summary/Abstract: The hybrid war foresees complex inter-dependencies of a historical, political, social,cultural and economic nature, which also generates a total commitment of forces and means of themost diverse, sometimes spontaneously configured for actions and effects that converge. Thediversity of participants in the hybrid actions is also due to the evolution of social mediatechnologies, making them an omnipresent tool with a full impact on every aspect of everyday life.The balance between state and non-state actors is favorably inclined towards an irregular, noninstitutionalizedcomponent that develops non-transparently in geometric progression and becomesa successful alternative to current intra-state conflicts. The disguise of involvement in the hybridwar reduces the boundary between the state and non-state concepts and becomes a goal that hasled the powerful states with very well-trained and equipped armies to set up atypical forces withspecial character and missions.
