Both took place in a small area of the so-called Independent State of Croatia. On 23–25 November 1943, Regiment Dänemark of the 11 th SS-freiwilligen Panzer-Grenadier-Division " Nordland " became involved in two cases of local combat with Yugoslav Partisans. The events in Yugoslavia in the 1990s resemble in parts to what has been described as hybrid warfare in Ukraine in 2014–2017. With the recent development of Russian international politics, it is of interest to revisit Yugoslavia and discuss the lessons learnt there in the light of hybrid warfare. Main actors as for example Slobodan Milošević and Franjo Tudjman are also presented in this chapter. Some actors are chosen as examples for the purpose of theoretical explanation, even though there are others to focus on if one wants a complete historical account. The intention and overall description in these few pages will help provide an example of the practical application of a field theory perspective to conflict, rather than describing the conflict in full. We also follow a short account of the events leading up to war in the Balkans, in particular in Bosnia. The French sociologist and theorist Pierre Bourdieu is also introduced here. It also give some examples of what have been done before in this matter, specifically the concept Effect-Based Operations (EBO). This bookdeals with why social theory can be relevant in the context of military operations.
