    The hybrid challenge and small states
    (Springer, 2020-11-24) Kennedy-Pipe, Caroline; Zaidi, Iftikhar
    Hybrid warfare is currently a fashionable phrase utilised to analyse a specific form of warfare waged against both large and small states. Currently, concern is raised about how China or Russia may be attempting to influence the domestic politics of states or alliances regarded as hostile to their interests. This could be mischief making in electoral politics or stirring up unrest in an age of populism to weaken and fragment state authority. This chapter examines how small states may be exploited in the age of the hybrid challenge but how sheltering may permit resistance.
