Abstract

The purpose of the article is to carry out a comprehensive theoretical analysis of approaches to the formation of the «information warfare» phenomenon integrative definition. Methodology. The article basis is the basic methodological principles of objectivity, dialecticism, and convention. The authors relied on a set of general scientific methods - derivation and induction, analysis and synthesis, phenomenological reduction, systemic, logic, and semantic division of the same on the opposite. The scientific novelty is determined by the fact that the authors allocate to an independent object of scientific study the information
war concept, which is studied from the perspective of modernity as a complex category under the nonlinear nature of this most complex socio-political phenomenon development. The authors’ theoretical and methodological approach to classification and study of information warfare and information confrontation
genesis is proposed. Conclusions. During the work on the article, a research methodology was developed and tested. It can be used in the study paths of information wars’ dynamic development and transformation in the twenty-first century. In today’s geopolitical situation it is important for Ukraine that the government and society understand the extreme importance of studying the nature and specifics of information wars and creating an effective national security system, recognizing the historical need to protect territorial integrity
and inviolability of their own information space.
