White Paper on Weaponized Narrative June 2017
نویسنده
چکیده
There seems to be something in the air: democratic societies around the world have had a rough time recently. Some, such as Turkey, Hungary and Poland, appear to be moving towards what Hungary’s Prime Minister, Viktor Orban, calls an “illiberal democracy,” soft authoritarianism veiled in the trappings of traditional democracies. The United Kingdom votes to Brexit from the European Union, leading Scotland to request a vote so they can, in turn, exit the U.K. The European Union itself stumbles from crisis to crisis, with core members such as France experiencing the rise of strong far right and far left, highly nationalistic and xenophobic parties. The U.S. in an election that may have been tipped by Russian intervention elects an unusual candidate whose stated policies and positions contravene 60 years of American statescraft. And in many of these cases, there is evidence of a systemic and growing geopolitical conflict waged primarily or entirely in non-kinetic information and cyber modes, in a process that has been termed “weaponized narrative”.
