The Hybrid Threats and Hybrid Warfare Reference Curriculum (HTHWRC) is the result of a collaborative multinational team of volunteers brought together under the auspices of the Partnership for Peace Consortium of Defence Academies and Security Studies Institutes (PfPC) and its Emerging Security Challenges Working Group and with the generous funding of the German Federal Government. The cross functional group drafting this document included expert contributions from military, defence, academic and police officials. Our aim was to provide a well-rounded starting point for those who wish to explore or develop educational materials on the emerged and emerging challenges posed by hybrid threats and hybrid warfare activities present in the current security environment.

CHAPTER: “We’re in This Together”: Reframing E.U. Responses to Criminal Unauthorized Disclosures of U.S. Intelligence Activities. In R. Miller (Ed.), Privacy and Power: A Transatlantic Dialogue in the Shadow of the NSA-Affair (pp. 257-281).

Edward Snowden's leaks exposed fundamental differences in the ways Americans and Europeans approach the issues of privacy and intelligence gathering. Featuring commentary from leading commentators, scholars and practitioners from both sides of the Atlantic, the book documents and explains these differences, summarized in these terms: Europeans should 'grow up' and Americans should 'obey the law'. The book starts with a collection of chapters acknowledging that Snowden's revelations require us to rethink prevailing theories concerning privacy and intelligence gathering, explaining the differences and uncertainty regarding those aspects. An impressive range of experts reflect on the law and policy of the NSA-Affair, documenting its fundamentally transnational dimension, which is the real location of the transatlantic dialogue on privacy and intelligence gathering. The conclusive chapters explain the dramatic transatlantic differences that emerged from the NSA-Affair with a collection of comparative cultural commentary. Show less
