4th Generation warfare (4GW)
A conflict characterized by a blurring of the lines between war and politics, combatants and civilians, and it has been the dominant mode of warfare since the collapse of the Soviet Union. 4GW differs from traditional warfare in that it is not fought between states, but between state and non-state actors, whose goal is usually to attain statehood.
Clausewitz defines warfare as a continuation of politics by other means. Put simply, when the political mechanism ceases to function, for whatever reason, the result is war.
is a massIve, low-intensity conflict caused by the breakdown of the political mechanism. As such, it is an attempt to force political change through methods outside the political process. AS one side is a non-state actor and does not have access to the productive capacity of the state, the war is fought with violent, intermittent insurgency tactics, as well as widespread psychological and "cultural warfare.
