Relationships between the geographic space and the policy of a region have been archaically imposed before the scientific concept crystallizes. Some archaic ideas have survived and have been taken over by various political, geographic or humanist research schools. Geopolitics, Geostrategy and, more recently, GeoInteligence have adapted to new areal, regional or global challenges. Together with the danger of nuclear escalation, the hybrid war has returned to the forefront of the worst threats to the West, after the “rate” of the Russia-NATO dialogue. NATO member states, in addition to the rights conferred by the Alliance, also have duties and, indirectly, are part of areal, regional or global threats. It is important to identify the level of knowledge and understanding of hybrid warfare mechanisms, on the following coordinates: notions and concepts, institutions capable of counteracting it and security. As we have shown in many analyses published over the years, geopolitical research is of particular interest in studying with insistence the conditions that determine the evolution of a nation in a certain geographic space, comprising two distinctive aspects of meaning and importance. The first is the relations with the states in the more distant geographic area, and the second is the economic, political, cultural, ethno-confessional and military-strategic relations area conditioned by a certain collaboration.
