New paradigm in the way of confronting the threats (DIEEEM17-2017)

During the last twenty years, and due to the ambiguity that underlies the correct definition of the conflict nowadays, have emerged countless attempts to define the «new wars». This difficulty to properly dimension the new type of conflict facing, as well as conceptualization in the so-called «grey zone», could come from the conceptual grasping of the establishment military industrial wars between armies heavily bureaucratized after the French Revolution, which has created a much ritualized paradigm that focuses on violent confrontation on a large scale between opposing forces.

This model causes a great confusion and difficulty to take new emerging dynamics, since they must identify the part to the whole. However, phenomena such as the spread of technology or the rise of non-State actors is obligated to consider a new paradigm in the way of confronting the threats.
