Abstract

ÖZ
Hibrit savaş, hem geleneksel hem de modern savaş yöntemlerinin bir arada kullanıldığı, çok boyutlu ve dinamik bir çatışma biçimidir. Bu savaş türü, yalnızca devletler arası savaşlarla sınırlı kalmayıp, devlet dışı aktörler, terör örgütleri, siber saldırganlar ve hatta bireyler tarafından uygulanabilmektedir. Geleneksel savaşın cephe çatışmaları, modern savaşın teknolojik ve asimetrik unsurlarıyla birleştirilerek, hibrit savaşın kapsamı genişlemekte ve daha karmaşık bir tehdit yapısı ortaya çıkmaktadır. Bu makale, hibrit savaşın uluslararası güvenlik üzerindeki etkilerini analiz etmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Hibrit savaşın, geleneksel askeri stratejiler ile modern siber saldırılar, dezenformasyon kampanyaları ve ekonomik yaptırımlar gibi unsurları nasıl entegre ettiği, uluslararası güvenlik örgütleri, devletler ve devlet dışı aktörler üzerinde ne tür sonuçlar doğurduğu kapsamlı bir şekilde ele alınmıştır. Özellikle NATO ve AB gibi uluslararası güvenlik örgütlerinin hibrit savaş karşısındaki durumu ve hibrit savaşın gelecekteki güvenlik mimarisini nasıl şekillendirebileceği üzerinde durulmuştur. Hibrit savaş, günümüz çatışma ortamında yeni güvenlik tehditleri doğururken, devletlerin ve uluslararası örgütlerin bu tehditlere karşı ne tür önlemler alabileceği de bu çalışmada tartışılmaktadır. Buna göre hibrit savaşın, küresel güç dengelerini etkilediği, uluslararası güvenlik ve uluslararası ilişkilerde dönüşüme neden olabileceği sonucuna varılmıştır.

Hybrid war: International security at the intersection of traditional and modern warfare

Abstract

ABSTRACT
Hybrid warfare is a multifaceted and dynamic form of conflict that employs a combination of both traditional and modern warfare methods. This type of warfare is not limited to inter-state conflicts; it can also be executed by non-state actors, terrorist organizations, cyber aggressors, and even individuals. By integrating traditional military confrontations with the technological and asymmetric elements of modern warfare, the scope of hybrid warfare expands, resulting in a more complex threat structure. This paper aims to analyze the impacts of hybrid warfare on international security. It examines how hybrid warfare integrates traditional military strategies with modern components such as cyberattacks, disinformation campaigns, and economic sanctions, and what consequences this has for international security organizations, states, and non-state actors. Special attention is given to the positions of international security organizations like NATO and the EU in the face of hybrid warfare, and how hybrid warfare may shape the future security architecture. As hybrid warfare introduces new security threats into the contemporary conflict environment, the paper also discusses what measures states and international organizations can take to counter these threats. Ultimately, it concludes that hybrid warfare affects global power balances and could lead to transformations in international security and international relations.
