Joint Civil-Military Interaction as a Tool in Responding to Hybrid Threats

Abstract

Povzetek Aktualna osredotočenost na hibridne grožnje in asimetrično bojevanje se morda zdi komaj kaj več kot le vrnitev v preteklost. Kako daleč v preteklost pa je treba iti, da prepoznamo resnico? Številne doktrine in teorije iz industrijske dobe danes več ne veljajo. Treba se je bolj usmeriti k algoritmu kot vodilu za ukrepanje in ne ostati pri statični paradigmi. Združena interakcija civilnega in vojaškega področja je ena izmed možnosti, ki omogoča odprto varnostno kodo za združevanje strokovnjakov in strokovnega znanja na zahtevo ter ob pravem času. Treba je torej združiti prizadevanja in izboljšati mednarodne mehanizme kriznega upravljanja, da bi zagotovili hitrejši, natančnejši in učinkovitejši odziv. Geografija ne zagotavlja več varnosti. V krizi ni pomembno, iz katere smeri prihaja grožnja. Vsi smo v istem čolnu ali na vesoljski ladji Zemlja. Ključne besede Asimetrično bojevanje, vojaške doktrine, hibridne grožnje, interakcija civilnega in vojaškega področja, odpornost, solidarnost, končno stanje, način razmišljanja. Abstract The current focus on hybrid threats and asymmetric warfare can seem little more than a return to the past. How far into the past should we go to recognize this truth? Many doctrines and theories from the Industrial Age are not valid today. We need to move closer to the algorithm as a guide to action rather than remaining stuck using a static paradigm. Joint Civil-Military Interaction is one option offering an open security code, combining experts and expertise on demand and on time. We must unite our efforts, and improve international mechanisms of crisis management to respond faster, more accurately, and more efficiently. Geography no longer provides security. In a crisis, it does not matter from which direction the threat comes. We are all in the same boat or on Spaceship Earth. Key words Asymmetric warfare, military doctrines, hybrid threats, civil-military interaction, resilience, solidarity, end state, way of thinking.

The Impact of the War in Ukraine on the Information Security of the European Union’s Banking Industry – A Case Study of Hungary And Slovakia

“…Having examined the current cyber risks, some points can be suggested in order to enhance the level of information security. To be better prepared for cyber incidents and disruptive events, fostering the current public-private partnership has already been urged (Matyok and Zajc, 2020). Such a partnership may prove to be valuable in the following areas:…”

Eu-Nato Cooperation and the Slovenian Presidency of the Council of the European Union

“…This reality was deepened by the migrant crisis 17 in 2015, which called into question the humanitarian actions and solidarity of the EU and the utility of its alliance with NATO (Matyók, Zajc, 2020, p 34). As a result, in 2016 the European Commission presented the aforementioned new Global Strategy 18 for Foreign and Security Policy for a "Stronger Europe".…”

“…A document is expected to be drafted under the Slovenian Presidency of the Council of the EU, and finally adopted by March 2022 at the latest (Kolenc, 2020, p 12). It is intended to link the strategic level the EU has been actively discussing since 2016 17 More than one million migrants from Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan and various African countries attempted to enter Europe in 2015. Individuals from Kosovo, Albania and other countries joined them on this route towards the west, some fleeing war, and others just looking for a better life in the European Union.…”
