A Critical Review of Hybrid Warfare: Challenges to Pakistan
This research paper analyses the dynamics of Hybrid Warfare to envisage its impact upon peace and conflict situation in Pakistan. The research explores how different domains of society have been affected by the application of Hybrid Warfare. Furthermore, the research focuses on the existing and future challenges being faced by Pakistan in the domain of Hybrid Warfare. The term Hybrid warfare has become the modern buzz-word among various circles, including media, academicians, and policy-making spheres. However, there is hardly any agreement on what this concept encompasses. Nonetheless, the widespread usage of the notion in numerous circles proposes that a novel form of warfare has emerged. This research argues that Pakistan is facing multi-dimensional and multidirectional challenges where the dominant threat stems from Eastern neighbour, but the involvement of other state and non-actors further complicates the situation.
