We investigated the concept of information warfare with an aim to provide a contemporary theoretical framework for its understanding. We think that information warfare is a strategy that uses multiple venues in a synchronized way to destabilize societies and to manipulate the bound between populations and governments. We concluded that its conceptual framework encompasses four branches of operations in: electromagnetic spectrum, traditional media, social media and cyber space. It includes a system of below and above the line of peace and war activities that have to destabilize societies and to manipulate governments. The goal is to spread influence and to control circumstances which represents a form of trans-border security threat. This situation of strategic disturbance is a form of limited war, a concept of dominant power, which depends upon degradation in freedom of actions, erosion of trust in institutions, ideas and values; disruption in decisionmaking process and discord in society.
