Implication of Terrorism in Building a Hybrid Resilience Mechanism for Civilians in Armed Conflicts
Abstract
Nowadays, the term hybrid warfare is increasingly common in the international security community. To date, several scientific and formal definitions of this issue have been developed, but it remains a contentious and imprecise concept. In common parlance, the term hybrid war is most often used to describe the so-called Ukrainian crisis, which escalated in 2022 and took the form of an informal armed conflict. Hybrid war is assumed to mean a combination of conventional and unconventional tactics of a military and non-military nature. One of the elements of hybrid threats is terrorism, which is a more widely analyzed threat in the routine security environment (state of peace) and in conditions of armed conflict. In contrast, in the case of a hybrid conflict, it is an issue that has been narrowly developed. Acts of terrorism in hybrid tactics can have a network character (i.e., an integrated multi-vector attack) and a cascading effect (i.e., effects affecting each other). Such a state of affairs can affect civilian security more broadly than in other states. Thus, there is an urgent need to understand the use of terrorism tactics in a full-scale hybrid conflict and its impact on civilian security.
