Sažetak
Contrary to the impression that the interest in strategic defence and security issues has increased ; state institutions, armed forces, international organizations and similar entities are increasingly involved in conceptualizing security and defence strategy, this paper shows that the essence is actually the opposite The process of fleeing from the strategic level of consideration of the problem. This tendency is well recognized by analyzing concepts related to security and defence strategy. The notion of asymmetric warfare is so ambivalent that it has become unusable, and the situation is even more absurd with the concept of hybrid warfare. The terms have become a means of legitimating, political classification and not analytical tools. Different terms are not to distinguish between different phenomena, to describe them more accurately and to explain them, but to make a certain appearance politically marked and thus determine how we ought to be treated as a state and society. As defence and security issues begin to dominate in public and political discourse, so scientific, expert, critical approach to these topics is reduced. Defence and security have definitely become daily political issues and have become problematic for military professionals. Strategic thinking in the area of security and defence is equally endangered and suppressed on the one hand by political voluntarism, irrelevant and arbitrary daily political influence, and, on the other hand, of the strategic surrogate offered in the form of simplicity, linearity, symmetry and mathematical accuracy.
