| description | Experiences of the last couple of years indicate that political objectives are
increasingly achieved without official declarations of war. Armed forces are used in
untraditional ways and the so-called substitute troops begin to play an increasingly
bigger part. The article aims to characterize the conflicts of alternative nature below
the level of open war that are on the border between war and peace. The content of
the article presents the theory of unconventional warfare and its description, and
familiarizes the reader with the concept of grey zone conflicts. It further shows the
challenges linked to rivalry for influence zones and security provisions. |
