Hybrid Threats

Hybrid threats pose a dangerous challenge to liberal Western democracies, who for too long have been complacent when it comes to dealing with contemporary hybrid adversaries. Hybrid threats denotes a spectrum of objectionable activities ranging from violent to non-violent in both the military and civil domain. The key to countering hybrid threats is through the development of international norms of behaviour.

At HCSS, we monitor and analyse the evolving threat landscape, and develop new strategic concepts to counter hybrid threats and offer concrete tailor-made policy solutions to partners across the Alliance.
