Conclusion: Reclaiming Politics from the Logic of War. 330 $aThis book offers a timely and trenchant addition to the vanguard of critical political thought in Central Europe. Reclaiming politics from the logic of war, the book provides a sobering cut into the political work of hybrid warfare discourse. With its theoretical sophistication and thick empirical embeddedness in the stories from the ?in-between zone? of Czechia, this is a must-read for untangling the lazy causality between the problems with Western democracies and Russian subversive actions. -Maria Mälksoo, University of Copenhagen This is a first book-long analysis showing how the notion of ?hybrid warfare? was used to transform security policies and discourses in an EU/NATO country. Building on current debates in International Political Sociology, Critical Security Studies, and Critical Geopolitics, it provides a novel account of how crisis, geopolitics, uncertainty, and expertise are intertwined in the social construction of threats. Based on extensive and original empirical research of large textual archive and elite interviews in the Czech Republic and Brussels, the book shows how officials, bureaucrats, journalists, activists, and experts all participate in the reshaping of security in a new geopolitical environment. Zooming on the case of Czechia and its specific Central European context, it complements the predominantly Western-centric studies of insecurity with an account of how the liminal position on an East/West boundary influences security politics. As a first study of its kind and scope, it will be of interest to academics and students interested in Central European politics, practices and discourses of hybrid warfare, as well as critical approaches to security and geopolitics. 410 0$aCentral and Eastern European Perspectives on International Relations,$x2947-7999 606 $aHybrid warfare$zCzech Republic 606 $aSecurity, International$zCzech Republic 607 $aCzech Republic$xForeign relations 607 $aCzech Republic$xPolitics and government 615 0$aHybrid warfare 615 0$aSecurity, International 676 $a355.03304371 700 $aEberle$b Jakub$01373744 701 $aDaniel$b Jan$01373745 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910734838303321 996 $aPolitics of Hybrid Warfare$93404872 997 $aUNINA
