Disinformation has become a geopolitical risk for transatlantic institutions
and for the global democratic alliance. Russia and China as authoritarian
powers have had a long-standing interest to undermine the institutions of
the liberal international order, led by the United States, the European Union and the NATO alliance. That way, disinformation can undermine trust
in the liberal democratic system, including free market economy, individual liberty and open society. This geopolitical risk poses a significant threat
to fact-based and evidence-based policymaking in many areas, including
economy and security. Comprehensive counter-intelligence policy solutions can detect and mitigate this risk by ensuring broader institutional
and societal resilience through lifelong civic education.
