In this special issue we are going to discuss about these subjects, which is unfortunately only as excusing to sustainability.
Social Cultural Capital, Trust, Democracy, High Technologies, CSR, Hybrid Warfare and Velvet Revolution are occurred to improve sustainable development and globalization (two important phenomena in recent decades).
Fundamentally, to gain trust, democracy, freedom, equality of male and female and develop social capital, cultural capital and sustainability are the goals of hybrid warfare and velvet revolution, but in fact these are just as excusing to participate in Hybrid Warfare and Velvet (color/soft) Revolution via private social networks.
In other words, these aren’t gained by Hybrid Warfare and Velvet (color/soft) Revolution. Sustainability has economic, social, political, cultural and environmental aspects but Hybrid Warfare and Velvet (color/soft) Revolution is just concerned on social and political sustainability and it couldn't improve economic, political, cultural and environmental sustainability. So, Hybrid Warfare and Velvet (color/soft) Revolution couldn't achieve sustainability in fact.
In addition, to develop globalization, societies' culture, CSR and tradition will be altered and after a while new generation with western's believes and concept are remained that they are far from their tradition and lose cultural political power. Therefore, instability in culture could be occurred. Generally, sustainability, CSR and globalization are just excusing of Hybrid Warfare and Velvet (color/soft) Revolution for facing west and the rest (the clash of civilization by excusing negotiation of civilization).
It is necessary to do such a research to indicate the importance and role of technologies and humanities' research in sustainability and find out the main reasons of Hybrid Warfare and Velvet (color/soft) Revolution and why some companies and politicians support these wars and revolutions.
