| Summary: | The article presents one of the forms of military involvement of states, which is a lowintensity conflict. It has been shown that initiating and participating in them can be an
instrument of foreign policy. The first part describes this type of conflict, specifying the
level of funds used, the territorial scope, the dynamics of the activities carried out and
their legal status. In addition, examples of conflicts from current political practice were
identified. The second part of the article analyzes the goals pursued by states using lowintensity conflicts, such as destabilizing a hostile state or questioning its political
position, attempts to resolve territorial disputes and revise state borders, generating
internal problems, building their own political position, as well as changing the political
and legal circumstances. The content of the article concerns the theory of politics, but the
totality of the issues presented may serve as a basis for reflection on examples from
political practice.
