In the field of contemporary international security, the “hybridization” of armed conflicts and transnational threats has a high level of priority, demanding constant attention from specialists. This article analyzes threats coming from actors that choose hybrids ways of warfare, and also the combination of at least two different and autonomous threats. An updated framework about this issue, which reflects the state of the art, including nonwestern views, is presented. The first objective is to identify the singularity of hybrid conflicts, and its differences with previous forms of armed conflicts, fixing the problems produced both by an unrestricted use of concepts and certain semantic proliferation. The second objective, which complements the former, seeks to identify the most common expressions of hybrid threats in today´s international relations framework. The conclusions address if hybrid conflicts and threats are present in Latin America and, in an affirmative case, what is the degree of preparation of the States to fight these problems. |

This article analyzes threats coming from actors that choose hybrids ways of warfare, and also the combination of at least two different and autonomous threats.

Dentro del campo de análisis de la seguridad internacional contemporánea, ocupa un lugar de importancia la “hibridación” de los conflictos armados y las amenazas transnacionales, cuestión que demanda la constante atención de los especialistas. El presente artículo aborda tanto la amenaza que constituye un actor que plantea modos de combate híbridos como la resultante de la combinación sinérgica de al menos dos amenazas diferentes, que pueden darse de manera autónoma. Se presenta un panorama actualizado sobre el tema, que refleja su estado del arte, incluyendo versiones ajenas a Occidente. El primer objetivo consiste en establecer dónde radica la singularidad de los conflictos híbridos respecto a las formas precedentes de contienda armada, subsanando así los inconvenientes que plantean tanto un empleo poco riguroso de los términos como cierta proliferación semántica. El segundo objetivo, complementario del primero, apunta a identificar los formatos más relevantes que adoptan las amenazas híbridas en la actualidad. Las conclusiones indican si se registra la presencia de conflictos y amenazas híbridas en América Latina, y en caso afirmativo, cuáles son sus manifestaciones, así como el grado de preparación de los Estados frente a ellas.
