| Description | Authors argue that contemporary state of conceptualization of non-state actor is in the context of recent developments in the filed of non-state actors no longer sufficient and they call for a reconceptualization. A concept of hybrid actor is presented, that is an actor which combines features and activities of different traditional types of non-state actors. On the basis of the typological framework we can define him as such an actor who has both political and economical aims and in the same time his type of inner organization is characterised by features of different kind of structures. The process of hybridization is among other things influenced by the possibility of transnationalization and cooperation with other actors. This actor has specific characteristic to such extent, that it gives reason to creation of a new category of non-state actors. The process of hybridization of non-state actor according to analysis of contemporary salient trends will rather grow in its volume, even more underscoring the importance of the reconceptualization. |
