Abstract

Systematic reviews synthesize data from primary sources and offer a different form of insight into the problem. In this regard, the review presented provides results of a detailed analysis of digital media contents, available in national domain of the Republic of Croatia, that used the terms “hybrid war(fare)“ – often a label of contemporary wars. It was undertaken in the early 2020 and considers the total of 360 individual contents identified using Google tools. Results provide information regarding the sources, frequencies as well as typical cases and types of information in which the terms appeared. Initially used for the right purpose use of these terms peaked by the end of 2017 when they became a sort of a buzzword that began to be abused. Therefore finally, the authors propose possible measures to efficiently counteract this problem likewise hoping that this evidence-based analysis contributed to the body of knowledge in the field.
