On January 23, HCSS director of research Dr. Tim Sweijs will present at a roundtable on “Hybrid Threats and Future War in an Age of Disruption” at the S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies (RSIS) in Singapore.
The session focuses on hybrid threats and the future of war, examining how to prepare, equip, and organize for conflict. Drawing lessons from both ongoing frontlines and developments occurring beyond the battlefield, Dr. Sweijs will explore the essential prerequisites for waging and sustaining war, including societal preparedness, the role of the population, industrial contributions, and the military’s ability to leverage technology and innovate.
The session will also address the significance of alliances and alignments, as well as strategic competition and hybrid threats that operate below the threshold of large-scale violence to undermine adversaries and their supporters.
Framing these considerations at the grand strategic level, Dr. Sweijs will discuss the changing character of war and share lessons learned from the war in Ukraine and other ongoing conflicts and how this is relevant for grand strategy and defence planning, particularly for small and middle powers.
