Influence Operations, Hybrid Warfare and Technological Awareness -- Chapter 7. The Russian Influence Strategy in its Contested Neighbourhood (M. Marsili). 330 $aThis book examines Russian influence operations globally, in Europe, and in Russia?s neighboring countries, and provides a comprehensive overview of the latest technologies and forms of strategic communication employed in hybrid warfare. Given the growing importance of comprehensive information warfare as a new and rapidly advancing type of international conflict in which knowledge is a primary target, the book examines Russia?s role in Global Knowledge Warfare. The content is divided into three parts, the first of which addresses conceptual issues such as the logic of information warfare, the role of synthetic media, and Russia?s foreign policy concepts, including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on influence operations. The second part analyzes technological, legal and strategic challenges in modern hybrid warfare, while the third focuses on textual, cultural and historical patterns in information warfare, also from various regional (e.g. the Western Balkans, Romania, Ukraine, and the Baltic) perspectives. The book is primarily intended for scholars in the fields of international relations, security and the military sciences who are interested in Russian foreign policy and influence operations, but also their impact on the global security environment. 410 0$aContributions to International Relations,$x2731-507X 606 $aSecurity, International 606 $aPolitics and war 606 $aEurope$xPolitics and government 606 $aInternational law 606 $aInternational relations 606 $aInternational Security Studies 606 $aMilitary and Defence Studies 606 $aEuropean Politics 606 $aPublic International Law 606 $aForeign Policy 615 0$aSecurity, International. 615 0$aPolitics and war. 615 0$aEurope$xPolitics and government. 615 0$aInternational law. 615 0$aInternational relations. 615 14$aInternational Security Studies. 615 24$aMilitary and Defence Studies. 615 24$aEuropean Politics. 615 24$aPublic International Law. 615 24$aForeign Policy. 676 $a355.033547 702 $aMo?lder$b Holger$f1962- 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910495155703321 996 $aThe Russian Federation in global knowledge warfare$92833906 997 $aUNINA
