De georganiseerde misdaad maakt flink gebruik van nieuwe technische snufjes. Hoe kunnen we dit aanpakken? Is de georganiseerde misdaad überhaupt nog in de kiem te smoren? Paul van Liempt bespreekt het in BNR podcast De Strateeg met HCSS strategisch analist Laura Jasper en voormalig hoofd van de nationale recherche Tom Driessen.
“The Draghi Report identifies a critical gap in the EU’s ability to compete on a global scale, particularly in the development and deployment of advanced AI technologies.” Next in our HCSS Draghi Report Series: strategic analysts Sofia Romansky and Jesse Kommandeur present their take on the report’s section on Artificial Intelligence (AI). “In providing a big picture view of the EU’s key sectors, the report already makes links with digitalization and advanced technologies in discussions of other sectors.”
Rusland en China doen niets om de situatie in het Midden-Oosten te stabiliseren, schrijft Rob de Wijk in zijn column voor Trouw. Integendeel, ze kijken er met grote tevredenheid naar, want in de ogen van velen steunt Amerika een fout land. Het conflict ondermijnt de positie van de Verenigde Staten in het Westen zelf.
On September 12, HCSS strategic analysts Benedetta Girardi and Laura Jasper presented their paper “From Nexus to Loop: How economic interdependence and great power competition shape domestic policy responses – a case study from the semiconductor industry” at the 2024 SISP Conference in Trieste, Italy. The paper examines how domestic economic policies are increasingly securitised against the backdrop of hyperglobalisation and renewed great power competition, particularly between the United States and China.
“Draghi’s suggestion that the EU may have to relinquish the solar panel industry is difficult to accept, but there is merit to it: the gap with China is insurmountable.” Up next in our Draghi Report Series: we asked HCSS strategic advisors Lucia van Geuns and Jilles van den Beukel for their take on the report’s section on Energy. “This is a no-nonsense report that confronts the tough decisions that need to be made. Realising these plans and achieving the goals is going to be quite a challenge.”
Join HCSS director of research Tim Sweijs on October 8 for a two-part event focused on the future of war, at the Center for International Strategy, Technology, and Policy (CISTP), of the Sam Nunn School of International Affairs, Georgia Institute of Technology. Tim Sweijs will summarize findings and implications from his new volume Beyond Ukraine: Debating the Future of War, co-edited with Jeffrey H. Michaels.
“The successful implementation of any EU defence strategy is politically problematic because of reasons of sovereignty; large countries with large defence industries must act more generously towards other member states.” For the fifth article in our Draghi Report Series, HCSS director of research Tim Sweijs and director of the security programme Frank Bekkers give their take on the report’s section on Defence.
Opinie | Mensen zijn het zwaaien met mensenrechten zat en willen oplossingen zien. Juist de idealisten hebben met hun onbuigzaamheid in het migratiedebat het vertrouwen in de rechtsstaat geen dienst bewezen, schrijft HCSS analist Gerben Bakker in EW Magazine. De verdragsrechtelijke realiteit waarvan Nederland altijd een braaf voorvechter is geweest, verliest daardoor draagvlak. En daardoor verliest de rechtsstaat gezag.
“The main challenge right now is determining how to implement the CRMA and coordinate these actions at the European level. The EU doesn’t need more recommendations, it needs to focus on the existing legislation and act on it.” For the next installment of our HCSS Draghi Report Series, we asked Irina Patrahau and Michel Rademaker for their take on the report’s section on Critical Raw Materials (CRM).
On 17 September 2024, HCSS strategic analyst Laura Jasper participated in a panel on “Unveiling the Disinformation Paradox” at the 13th EDEN Europol Conference in The Hague. Laura’s contribution centered around adopting a strategic approach to the question of Foreign Information Manipulation and Interference. She addressed the link between existing fractures within society, foreign interference and the blurring boundary between state and non-state actors, in particular organized crime groups, and how this threatens national security.
