Europe in the digital age
Foreign interference, disruption, and covert manipulation have been integral to European statecraft long before modernity, yet have dramatically escalated in recent years along with the increasing post-cold-war geopolitical instability and contemporary technological transformations. The stakes are high, and the challenges are great. Interference and covert action are situated in the liminal space between war and diplomacy and often exploit entrenched social, economic, and political vulnerabilities. Their effects and unintended consequences can be no less powerful and devastating as those of open, kinetic warfare. Register now for our conference on intelligence and counterintelligence.
