Current and future adversaries are expected to employ a mix of warfare types simultaneously. While non-state actors typically engage in irregular warfare, they may also support conventional conflicts when beneficial. Likewise, nation-states may resort to irregular tactics alongside conventional warfare to achieve their objectives. The rise of hybrid and cyber-warfare illustrates this evolving landscape, which transcends national borders, social classes, and political ideologies. In this context, the lines between enemies and allies have blurred. A "comprehensive approach" emerges as a conceptual response to these challenges, yet it requires further refinement and analysis for effective application. Achieving this necessitates a coordinated strategy and regular interaction among all involved actors. These developments will significantly impact the future structure and training of armed forces globally and influence international security politics and defense policy, posing challenges to existing theories of politics and international relations. This volume gathers insights from leading international experts across various schools of thought to provide a comprehensive overview of these pressing issues.
