There are emerging security trends and risks worldwide. The international security environment is gradually characterized by hybrid conflict strategies that fall under military, political, economic, information, and cyber domains. Hybrid threats are complex, ambiguous and multidimensional in nature, and have gradual impacts, making them difficult for states to effectively respond and pose a significant challenge to long term security. On this episode, we discuss why hybrid conflict constitutes an increasingly desirable strategy to achieve political goals with Bianca Torossian, a strategic analyst with the Hauge Centre for Strategic Studies.

Her studies at The University of Sydney, Erasmus University Rotterdam, and Leiden University- The Hague, earned her a Bachelor degree political, economic and social science, and a Master degree in political science and international organization. She specializes in the intersection between emerging technologies and conflict.
