+ Hybrid warfare and a plan to safeguard societies
+
THREAT-DEFUSER explores the role of "soft" information strategies propagated +through mass and social media that constitute hybrid warfare. We investigate +Norwegian perceptions of Russia, as well as Russian perceptions of Norway, in +the context of Norwegian national security.
+THREAT-DEFUSER is a +multi-disciplinary project that combines state-of-the-art methodologies from +political science, linguistics and media studies to forge new methodologies. +Whereas academic disciplines tend to be disproportionately focused on the +English-speaking world, THREAT-DEFUSER breaks away from that narrow view, +focusing instead on Russian and two official languages of Norway: Norwegian and +North Saami. Three cultural perspectives are opened up: 1) a major +international language, since Russian is the second most-used language on the +Internet; 2) a majority national language; 3) a minority indigenous language.
+The tools created by THREAT-DEFUSER are portable to other languages, cultures, +and domains, and will be shared open source with the international research +community. THREAT-DEFUSER actively disseminates research findings to political +authorities (via evidence briefs and closed workshops), to academics (via +high-quality open access scholarly journals), and to the public at large +through a dedicated, regularly updated website, podcasts, school visits and an +app that facilitates rapid response to the dynamic landscape of news and social +media.
+THREAT-DEFUSER assesses Russia's increasingly assertive role in matters +of foreign and security policy, particularly in relation to their engagement in +hybrid warfare. The same tools are implemented also to analyze Russian +attitudes to Europe that have a direct bearing on Norwegian-Russian relations.
+THREAT-DEFUSER is funded by the +Research Council of Norway, grant number 300002.
+This project is administered by UiT The Arctic University of Norway, +in collaboration with:

This tool is experimental and being tested and developed. +We will soon document how the clusters were obtained and how +the colors map to cluster numbers.

The KWords application is used for the analysis of texts based on comparison with general usage (reference corpus). The aim is to identify so-called keywords, which are word forms or lemmas appearing in the inspected text with a significantly higher frequency than in the reference corpus which should reflect the common usage. These key words serve as a basis for textual analysis and interpretation.
+KWords is an online application (the only thing needed to use it is a web browser) and it is accessible without registration to all users at kwords.korpus.cz.
+The first version of KWords was developed for the purpose of analyzing political speeches in collaboration with Brown University. The second version was developed as part of the Threat-defuser project. This version supports more than 30 languages and allows keyword analysis as well as keymorph analysis.

WP1 combines social science and linguistic scholarship. A detailed literature +review in hybrid warfare will be carried out, examining the trajectory of +threat posturing emanating from different national sources, assessing how the +term “hybrid warfare” became popularized and in which literature, how hybrid +warfare has been represented across different national contexts (including +Russian and Norwegian), and providing an initial assessment of dominant +terminology in the literature (Norwegian, Russian, and English). WP1 accesses +the largest comparable reference corpora with linguistic tagging that supports +Keyword/Keymorph analysis. The Aranea Family of Gigaword Web +Corpora contains a Russian corpus, and +Aranea leader Benko has constructed a Norwegian web corpus for the project with +both bokmål and nynorsk varieties. UiT houses the KORP corpus of North +Saami, with full automatic tagging. WP1 develops +“seed” vocabularies of words and collocations that are symptomatic of news +articles/broadcasts that highlight threats. Seed vocabularies for each language +will be enhanced by computational means such as the use of semantic vectors and +word embeddings, as well as search engines that extract collocations, cf. +Araneum functions and Collocations Colligations Corpora for +Russian. Threat vocabularies are enhanced by a +feedback loop from text analysis in WP2.
+Seed vocabularies for Russian, Norwegian, and North Saami developed in WP1 +supply search terms for the extraction of target texts and ensure that +THREAT-DEFUSER will collect substantial samples of news from online newspapers, +TV broadcasts, and podcasts that comprehensively reflect the landscape of +threat-related discourse in each language. Russian TV broadcasts are currently +captured by the UCLA NewsScape Library and +publicly available for research. NewsScape capture includes closed caption +texts that can be harvested for input into R and other analytical software. +This capture now includes Russian pro-government channels (Pervyj, NTV, +TVC). A capture station for Norwegian TV news will be set up and maintained +at UiT and archived in NewsScape; we will attempt to set up capture also for +the Russian opposition TV channel Dožd’. Newspaper, radio and other Internet +portals will include an extensive range of options, such as mainstream +(Aftenposten, NRK) and right-wing (Resett, Document) in Norwegian and +North Saami (Ávvir, NRK-Sápmi); and opposition (Novaja gazeta, +Vedomosti, Èxo Moskvy) and foreign (Radio Liberty, BBC Russian) in +Russian.
+THREAT-DEFUSER will develop Keyword/Keymorph analysis for Russian, Norwegian +and North Saami by significantly enhancing the existing KWords application +hosted at the Czech National Corpus portal, improving +robustness of the application, and adding language-specific settings. These +improvements will consider copyright and other legislative restrictions in +order to maintain free and unrestricted access to the tool for all users. With +Keyword/Keymorph analysis for each language in place, we proceed to in-depth +investigation of target text deviations from reference corpora in terms of both +words and meaning-bearing grammatical categories. Here THREAT-DEFUSER reveals +differential linguistic behavior that may be indicative of ideological slants +and makes comparisons across media sources and languages.
+WP3 will critically interrogate the interface between civilian and media +agency, and devise concrete strategies for communication, verification, and +de-escalation with regard to perceived threats. These communication strategies +will be simultaneously shared and tested with the other WPs. The spectrum of +media sources in Norway and Russia and their audiences are probed for +connectivity, tracked in terms of social media likes of news posts and measured +in terms of Normalized Social Distance (Šlerka & Šisler 2017); Šlerka provides +knowledge transfer to apply also to Russian social media (VKontakte, +Odnoklassniki, moj mir). Media maps for each country are constructed and +groupings of media sources are classified. In addition, this WP addresses +processes and practices of escalation and radicalization in an extended +security paradigm by investigating the intersecting dynamics of new media +technologies (in particular social media and digital networks) and the +mediation of perceived threats through populism and extremism. WP3 investigates +the relationships between increasing global trends in populism and various +expressions of agency through extremism in response to perceived threats. +Relying on intersectional analysis (closely connected to feminist/gender +analysis) we can better contextualize and understand the technological, +economic, cultural, societal, and political patterns of support and restraint +predisposing civilians’ cognition and actions in encounters with perceptions of +invisible threats. Addressing the role of civilians in contemporary +media-fueled affective (emotional) politics in Western democracies, WP3 employs +theories of trust and civilian capabilities/agency (informed by intersectional +analysis) to understand the politicized roles of civilians in emerging crisis +scenarios, with a particular focus on the role of media technologies, +institutions, and practices in creating/maintaining/destabilizing environments +that foster populism, and further various forms of extremism.
+Results from WP1-3 come together in comparisons across languages, countries, +and media, exposing trends and differences. Political implications are +identified, and strategies are developed to address gaps in knowledge. +Discourse analyses of central texts addressing hybrid threats (in Russian, +Norwegian/North Saami, and English) will be conducted and triangulated with +results from WP2 and 3 which will result in a multiple trajectory (quantitative +and qualitative) knowledge base of key threat-oriented language used in various +media. This knowledge base will serve as the foundation for WP5 and creation of +the NewsRadar plug-in. WP 4 will use qualitative methods (surveys, participant +observation, interviews) to gather data on how individuals in Norway, Sápmi, +and NW-Russia actually receive, negotiate, and potentially repurpose or subvert +allegedly radicalizing content disseminated in and through digital networks. +This shift of focus on media practices takes seriously the agency of individual +citizens and will help identify various machinic agencies interacting and +interfering with human users. The WP will produce qualitative data sets on +actual behavior with which assembled quantitative data sets on abstracted +aggregates can be correlated to control for validity and reduce biases caused +by selection of sources and other factors.
+Results from WP1-4 feed production of a webpage, podcast series, and policy +advisories that disseminate results to the public and to policy makers. A +component of WP5 will be to set up a sustainable model to assure that the +website remains operative also beyond the end of the project. Additionally, the +NewsRadar app/plug-in will be developed in Norwegian and Russian to break the +“filter bubbles” by rating news media and offering alternative views classed +according to results in WP4. This WP intertwines with the previous WPs, +specifically targeting core stakeholders and potential end-users regarding +current perceptions of invisible threats and how to manage these in a highly +information-driven, digital-oriented/dependent society like Norway. In addition +to connecting to stakeholders/end-users (business, NGOs/civil society +organizations, unions, political parties, etc.) and establishing preliminary +attitudes and perceptions amongst these actors, WP5 establishes an open +debate/seminar forum for these and other relevant participants. The WP +cooperates with UTSYN, an organization well connected to central, interested +authorities (particularly within the foreign and defence policy communities), +ensuring the visibility of THREAT-DEFUSER research and results to both policy +actors and civil society. Debate/seminar results will be shared regularly with +project partners, while WP5 will also ensure that academic publications will be +regularly disseminated to general audiences through media outlets including +editorials and commentaries. WP5 will manage all dissemination output, ensuring +visibility as research is published. It will also manage inputs and responses, +monitoring feedback by stakeholders and the general public to the ongoing +research.
