Fourth-Generation Warfare (4GW) refers to a type of conflict that blurs the lines between war and politics, combatants and civilians. Unlike traditional warfare, which often involves state armies facing each other, 4GW includes non-state actors, such as terrorist groups or insurgent movements, using unconventional tactics. This form of warfare emphasizes psychological and information warfare, aiming to undermine the enemy's will to fight. In 4GW, battles are fought in the realm of public perception, often through social media and propaganda. The goal is to create instability and influence populations rather than simply achieving military victory. This approach can lead to prolonged conflicts, as the enemy may be difficult to identify and combat effectively.
