Project description:
Written as an anthology, this policy paper examines seven hybrid threats to the North Atlantic, namely threats related to cybersecurity, economic security, food security, influence campaigns, telecommunication infrastructure, fisheries, and foreign policy. The policy paper suggests mitigating actions based on national and regional governance measures performed by actors and sectors across the Faroe Islands, Greenland, and Denmark. In doing so, the policy paper considers the particularity of both the North Atlantic and the Kingdom of Denmark, including the Kingdom’s distribution of competences between the areas of responsibility of different authorities. This is very pertinent as hybrid threats thrive on authority and responsibility gaps between institutions, sectors, and jurisdictions.
