A volume from the series Technology @ War. Hybrid threats embody a mixture of violent, coercive and non-violent means used by state and non-state actors to achieve their goals. The concept of hybrid threats has become an integral part of the security and national security policy of the European Union (EU), NATO and most Western countries in recent years. The concept also frequently appears in the headlines. Nevertheless, military intelligence and security services seem to disagree on how to define this phenomenon and how to take effective countermeasures against it. In this work, the author examines the rise of hybrid threats in the post-Cold War era and provides numerous examples of the nature of this threat, as well as case studies of how hybrid threats have been used by state and non-state actors.
