2017, Uluslararası Kriz ve Siyaset Araştırmaları Dergisi

Abstract

The term of hybrid warfare has been largely used in the literature recently. But it is very difficult to find a common definition that all scholars agree on. Also, none of the definitions clearly touch all the important characteristics of the term, even though some are addressing a few. In this article we are trying to define the hybrid warfare comprehensively that could be accepted commonly. After defining hybrid warfare and explaining the interests of the actors, we are examining the military of Iran in the context of hybrid warfare. How did Iran structure its' military? Is it suitable for hybrid warfare? Finally, we are comparing the military capabilities of Turkey and Iran in the context of new generation of warfare.
