Abstract of the presentation
In the contemporary global landscape, the phenomenon of hybrid warfare and its associated threats have emerged as pivotal challenges for nations worldwide. Both Poland and Australia find themselves grappling with an unprecedented surge in influence wielded by neighbouring powers, each employing distinct tools from the hybrid warfare and hybrid threat arsenal. This presentation delves into the intricate dynamics of hybrid warfare, focusing on the striking parallels and nuanced disparities between Poland and Australia. This presentation will unfold in two distinct segments. Initially, the concept of hybrid warfare will be explained, elucidating shared attributes and distinguishing features through compelling case studies. Subsequently, the pervasive issue of disinformation and misinformation will be presented. From the propagation of anti-vaccination rhetoric to the exploitation of anti-migrant sentiments and the selective portrayal of international affairs involving China and Russia, the multifaceted nature of disinformation campaigns will be exposed. The issue of society’s resilience against hybrid threats will open the floor for a discussion with the AIPA audience.
