| Title | Dealing with the Hybrid War |
| Summary | Russia‘s and China’s hybrid practices in Ukraine and the South China Sea raise significant questions about how to prevent the hybrid war. Although international security experts and practitioners show their strong interest in how to deal with the hybrid war, no scholars conduct comparative case analysis incorporating with both European and Asian perspectives. The MA thesis aims at detecting some factors which contribute to deterring the hybrid war. To this aim, it selects four cases in Europe and Asia: 1) Ukraine; 2) the South China Sea; 3) the Baltic States; and 4) the East China Sea. Cross-regional comparison shown in this thesis reveals that while deterrent capabilities based on hard power contribute to preventing the hybrid war, economic interdependence between hybrid war initiators and their targeted countries is not necessarily effective for deterring such a warfare, rather, utilized as the part of the nonmilitary measures for the hybrid warfare. |
