ABSTRACT Hybrid warfare is the latest of the terms/concepts that have been used within the defence community in the last three decades to label contemporary warfare. It has been officially adopted in the core strategic documents of NATO, EU and national governments and has already inspired many articles, policy papers and books; however, this paper is unique in the sense that it analysis the hybrid warfare concept through the lens of strategic theory. It is argued that hybrid warfare does not merit the adoption as a doctrinal concept. Strategic theory instead, which lies at the nexus of all dimensions of warfare, provides a better viewpoint to approach contemporary warfare. It concludes that efforts should be directed towards exploring warfare under the light of eternal principles instead of proving the emergence of new types of warfare.

战略理论视角下的混合战争

摘要 混合战争是过去 30 年国防界用于标记当代战争的最新术语/概念。它已被北约、欧盟和各国政府的核心战略文件正式采用，并已启发了许多文章、政策文件和书籍；然而，这篇论文的独特之处在于它通过战略理论的视角分析了混合战争概念。有人认为，混合战争不值得作为一种教义概念采用。相反，战略理论位于战争所有维度的纽带，为处理当代战争提供了更好的视角。结论是，应着眼于探索永恒原则下的战争，而不是证明新型战争的出现。
