New Strategy Center publishes new research. “Addressing the Challenge of Russian Hybrid Warfare the NATO Way: The Case of Norway and Romania” analyzes how Russia’s hybrid warfare manifests in Romania and Norway, two important NATO countries where the Russian Federation displays very aggressive behavior. This research explores the tactics of political warfare, including the use of various instruments of power other than kinetic warfare, to challenge the rules-based order. By investigating these strategies in Norway and Romania, the study provides relevant insights and policy recommendations aimed at strengthening resilience against Russian hybrid threats. The project is a collaboration between the New Strategy Center in Romania and the Norwegian Institute of International Affairs (NUPI), funded through the Bilateral Relations Fund 2014-2021.

The authors of the study are Dr. Jakub Godzimirski, research professor at NUPI; Dr. Alina Bârgăoanu, senior associate expert at the New Strategy Center; and Răzvan Ceuca, international relations expert at the New Strategy Center.
