New Strategy Center has published a new policy brief titled “How to Make NATO Better Prepared to Meet the Challenge of Russian Political Warfare: Lessons from Norway and Romania.” This research, a collaboration between the New Strategy Center in Romania and the Norwegian Institute of International Affairs (NUPI), delves into the tactics used by Russia in the realm of political warfare against Norway and Romania, two key NATO members. It examines how non-military tools are deployed by Russia to challenge the existing international order. The study also provides insights and recommendations for strengthening NATO’s resilience against these threats, particularly in the context of the ongoing war in Ukraine. This project is part of the FLANKS II initiative, funded by the Bilateral Relations Fund 2014-2021.
The main author of this study is Dr. Jakub Godzimirski, a research professor at NUPI, who has extensive experience analyzing Russian foreign and security policies.
