Aimed at defining a type of conflict that combines the use of conventional and irregular ways of fighting, the hybrid warfare is receiving a significant amount of attention despite the controversies it produces. The article will define the concept, study its theoretical development, identify its fundamental characteristics and evaluate its real effectiveness.
