@article{2016:varwick:die_nato_u, title = {Die NATO und hybride Kriegführung}, year = {2016}, note = {This article outlines the debates on NATO’s hybrid warfare, contextualizes them with regard to the development of the Alliance, and seeks to evaluate the arguments surrounding this topic. Applying the triad of „prepare-deter-defend“, NATO attempts to comprehensively adapt itself to hybrid threats. The Alliance ought to be equipped with the necessary tools and processes in order to effectively deter and respond to hybrid dangers. In particular, the difficulty of assessing a given situation or threat - which often can only be judged retrospectively - could complicate the collective decision-making of NATO and thus its ability to act.}, journal = {S&F Sicherheit und Frieden}, pages = {121--125}, author = {Varwick, Johannes and Matlé, Aylin}, volume = {34}, number = {2} }
