ABSTRACT: The
purpose of this study is to summarize current terminology related to
unconventional warfare. Based on extensive research, and on the experience gained
over the past decades, the paper proposes a synthesized definition that is
consistent with the philosophy of reinterpreting contemporary military
conflicts. War, as part of human nature (N. Machiavelli) and as a social
phenomenon has been marked by the constant development of strategies and
technologies. If we trace the evolution of warfare in human history beginning
with the bow and arrow, gunpowder and the cannon, through to the nuclear, laser and psychotronic weapons, we shall see that
the only difference to counteracting lies in using the means and technologies
for waging a war, which by no means changes its nature. It is purposeful
organized violence utilizing the advances in science, engineering and
technologies in order to counter other violence. And its ultimate goal has
always been the achievement of external and internal political aims and
distribution or allocation of resources. The main results obtained in this
study can be summarized as follows—in the changing security environment, a
result of globalization and the rapid development of communication
technologies, facilitating the implementation of new forms and methods of
destabilizing the target political regimes, understanding this security
environment is a matter of political and social responsibility. The research
method used in this paper is based on the so-called “Architectural Approach”,
which is common for such cases and meets potential expectations.
