A genealogy of Swedish psychological defence
Contemporary research observes how foreign information influence presents a governing challenge for liberal democratic states. Less attention has been paid to how this governing dilemma emerged in its present form. This article outlines a genealogy of the long-standing Swedish strategy of psychological defence with the aim of tracing historical trajectories of liberal democratic thinking about information influence. Drawing on official reports fr…
Disinformation, deterrence and the politics of attribution
This article unpacks the politics of disinformation attribution as deterrence. Research and policy on disinformation deterrence commonly draw on frameworks inspired by cyber deterrence to address the 'attribution problem', thereby overlooking the political aspects underpinning attribution strategies in liberal democracies. Addressing this gap and bringing together disinformation studies and the fourth wave of deterrence theory, the article examin…
Special Forum on intelligence and theory
The literature on intelligence and theory has developed considerably in recent years. This Special Forum takes as its point of departure four recent publications that have made a particular contrib
The neuropolitical imaginaries of cognitive warfare
The concept of cognitive warfare is currently gaining ground in the policy discussion and in academic research as a way of conceptualizing the ‘weaponization of the neurosciences’. Introducing the Science and Technology Studies-inspired concept of ‘neuropolitical imaginaries’ and assessing discussions on cognitive warfare launched by the NATO Innovation Hub in 2017, this article explores how the contemporary turn to the brain sciences in defense …
Securitizing cyberspace
The contemporary debate in democracies routinely refers to online misinformation, disinformation, and deception, as security-issues in need of urgent attention. Despite this pervasive discourse, however, policymakers often appear incapable of articulating what security means in this context. This paper argues that we must understand the unique practical and normative challenges to security actualized by such online information threats, when they …
Instilling judgement
With citizens turning to extremism, ‘counter-narratives’ have been forwarded as a remedy for online ‘counter-radicalisation’. Still, the relationship between counter-narratives and counter-radicalisation remains theoretically under-examined. Taking as its starting point a policy proposal by the Radicalisation Awareness Network (RAN), and drawing on the work of Arendt and Kant on judgement, this article explores the link between political mind-cha…
Cities under siege
Cities Under Siege begins by painting an Orwellian picture of our times. We live in a world where ‘cordoned-off security zones, walling, tracking, targeting’ and ‘biometrics’ have become part of ur
