- The deteriorating security environment in Europe due to the increasing conflict of interests between western democracies and Russia is now, after the Russian invasion of Ukraine, obvious to all. But the willingness of the Russian state to oppose and disrupt European security order and the sovereignty of other states is not new. One increasingly common way is using influence operations, often in combination with intelligence-and cyber capabilities; a pattern illustrated by the 2007 bronze soldier event in Estonia, the Russian invasion of Georgia in 2008, and 2014 annexation of the Crimean Peninsula. This chapter examines the historical origins of Russian influence operations against the West, how these have shaped Russian perspectives on their use, and the methodological components they employ to attain their aims in the information environment. It also discusses a number of focus areas relevant for democracies when working to improve societal resilience and counter influence capability.

DETERRENCE BY DENIAL AND RESILIENCE BUILDING

- Deterrence and resilience are intimately connected. Deterrence is about understanding threats and using levers that might force an adversary to reconsider their objectives and actions against you. Resilience is about understanding yourself and the measures you can take to become a less attractive target, or to bounce back more quickly from a setback. This combination of deterrence and resilience has developed into one of the key emerging areas of 21st century security policy. Societal institutions are expected to perform a key role in deterring adversaries of all kinds, by building resilience and wielding a combination of denial and cost imposition strategies as a method of shaping collective security. However, the theories and practices governing such activities are still in their relative infancy. This chapter explores the contemporary application of deterrence theory upon hybrid threats and engages critically with some of the weakness and assumptions of the field.

Hybrid Threats and Hybrid Warfare : Time for a Comprehensive Approach?
- 2021

Annan publikation (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Hybrid warfare strategies blend conventional warfare, irregular warfare and cyber-attacks with other influencing methods, such as disinformation, diplomacy and foreign political inteference. There is a need for novel comprehensive approaches to counter them.
