China, Russia and Emerging Hybrid Threats: Implications for the EU’s Indo-Pacific Strategy Until 2030
Get PDFThe European Union is facing some of its severest challenges in decades. The war in Ukraine soon after the COVID-19 pandemic exposed supply chain vulnerabilities only added to the looming troubles. Additionally, the nature of non-traditional warfare tools such as hybrid threats and asymmetric tactics put pressure on the social fabric of member states. Digital transformation has allowed newer modes of indirect fighting, such as cyberattacks and mass disinformation campaigns to disrupt the existing order and instil fear of critical damages. Recognising this, the EU has sought to put in place several strategies to counter hybrid threats. The fallout of the war in Ukraine has significantly impacted the Indo-Pacific, while developments within the Indo-Pacific have reciprocally influenced European security dynamics. The EU has been forced to look at the region from a security standpoint given the substantial economic and strategic stakes. How far would the EU’s Strategy for Cooperation in the Indo-Pacific be able to fulfil expectations as a credible security actor while safeguarding its own interests and values especially in the face of expanding hybrid threats? China’s ‘grey zone’ activities in the Indo- Pacific coupled with Russia’s disinformation campaigns point to the need for a holistic strategy to counter hybrid threats, one that brings all members on a common platform. This paper first examines in brief the development of EU’s hybrid threat response. It then explores the landscape of such threats in the Indo-Pacific, in particular China’s tactics and discusses the EU’s flexible approach to partnerships in the region for establishing a collaborative response. Finally, it projects possible future trends until 2030 based on the trajectory so far.departmental bulletin pape
