Abstract: Communication Management has become a common tool in the arsenal of the West in the context
of trying to build the pretext for war, and then controlling the information flows after the fighting has begun.
It is an attempt to justify the seemingly unjustifiable, where reason and logic are distorted, and the use of emotion
is actively promoted. In the 21st century, its use has come to be common place in the settling of scores and
the advancement of national interest in international relations (Pashenstev & Simons, 2009). Methodological
basis of the research is a systematic, structural-functional, comparative political and comparative-historical
approaches, methods of analysis, synthesis, observation, simulation, expert assessments. Certainly, one may
now even speak of a blueprint for going to war being established. This has been gradually shaped and refined
by events such as the 1991 Gulf War, 1999 Kosovo War and the 2003 invasion and occupation of Iraq.Libya
gave the opportunity to operationalize the blueprint, which in political terms proved to be successful, in terms
of managing the information environment in order to promote a dubious political agenda (going to war against
Libya under Gadaffi). The current situation in Syria points to the urgent need to be able to understand and to
counter these tactics.
