Abstract

In the space between "peace and war", which is called the gray zone in international relations, state actors operate with the intention of achieving their interests without the use of military force. The term "gray zone" defies categorization as well as framing, which would establish an international legal framework and, if crossed, could trigger a legitimate
response from the international community. Power actors such as the United States of America (US), the Russian Federation (RU) or the People's Republic of China (CN) operate within the g ray zone space. Given the ambiguity of the term, the possibilities for conducting activities within the gray zone are also expanding in an increasingly sophisticated manner.
