Recording: Extreme Communication: Strategic Communications in the Contemporary International Landscape
The RUSI Journal special issue on Strategic Communications tackles how the communications activities of state and non-state actors are among the most complex and challenging security concerns facing Western liberal democracies today.
Overview
The challenge comes from extremist actors ranging from the Islamic State to far-right organisations, and their increasingly sophisticated use of tools and approaches both online and offline.
