Podcast: The Informational Dimension of Hybrid Warfare

In this episode, we're bringing you an exclusive interview with Dr Neville Bolt, director of the King's Centre for Strategic Communications. Dr Bolt discusses the informational dimension of hybrid warfare. Many scholars argue that the absence of war does not necessarily equate to peace. Therefore, they call this lucid state between war and peace ‘hybrid warfare’. But how useful is this term ‘hybrid warfare’ and how are Western and Eastern perspectives different when it comes to defining and interpreting this term?

In January 2017, the King’s Centre for Strategic Communications (KCSC) hosted an international conference to discuss the informational dimension of hybrid warfare. Panelists from the International Centre for Counter Terrorism (ICCT, The Hague), the Moscow State Institute of International Relations (MGIMO), and the KCSC, exchanged their academic perspectives on this heated topic.
