Hybrid Warfare and Disinformation in the Post- truth Era

Abstract

In this paper I explain hybrid warfare and its methods, focusing on disinformation as one of the most effective and actual way of weakening and destabilising one entity’s adversary, mostly other states and belligerents. I give a quick overview of how this mean of warfare has been currently used by states, focusing on Russia, China, and Iran. I come up with the concept that this tool of warfare is significantly effective and its targets are particularly vulnerable these times, often labeled as the post-truh era.
