EU Strategic Communications with a View to Counteracting Propaganda DIRECTORATE-GENERAL FOR EXTERNAL POLICIES POLICY DEPARTMENT IN-DEPTH ANALYSIS EU strategic communications With a view to counteracting propaganda ABSTRACT Emanating from Russia in the east and the so-called Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) in the south, the EU has been increasingly hit by destabilising messages amounting – in different forms and to different degrees – to coherent hostile ‘strategic communications’ campaigns, or the processes of infusing communications activities with an agenda or plan to impact the behaviour of a target audience. Both Russia and ISIL have engaged in aggressive messaging and deceptive media campaigns, albeit with distinct narratives, targets and audiences. This paper analyses the ‘what’ and the ‘how’: the respective narratives of each actor, their specificities, their similarities and their differences. The analysis also draws attention to strategic communications efforts undertaken by the EU, which are vectored into defensive (react and respond) and offensive (probe and push) dimensions. This understanding of the present context finally allows for an evaluation of what actions can be taken to enhance the effectiveness of the EU’s own strategic communications.

Moreover, not unlike ‘hybrid’, it often lacks a stringent definition. This has advantages, of course, as the term can be used to cover a wide range of disparate issues and activities. Still, a better understanding of its possible scope can be of help in assessing the extent to which it is applicable to the actions and actors analysed in this paper. 1.1 What’s in a name? Broadly speaking, strategic communications infuses ‘communications’ activities with an agenda or a plan. The field of ‘communications’ is broad, encompassing individuals and organisations who create news or push information (public relations firms, broadcasters), who deliver news and media (journalists), and who study the interplay between media and society (researchers). As an umbrella term, ‘strategic’ communications combines them all – especially the pushing and the delivering – thanks also to new forms of engagement, the proliferation of different types of media, and the low entry barriers. Depending on the nature of an organisation, ‘strategic communications’ can range from marketing to policy. It can also refer to a process as well as a profession – let alone an academic discipline in its own right. Most importantly, it implies and requires tight coordination and consistency across the board in order to purposefully implement a large set of different, targeted and tailored actions. A useful definition, especially for the scope of this paper, is offered in a 2011 Chatham House Report, in which strategic communications is described as ‘a systematic series of sustained and coherent activities, conducted across strategic, operational and tactical levels, that enables understanding of target audiences and identifies effective conduits to promote and sustain particular types of behaviour’1. In practice, for policy-related organisations, it includes elements of public diplomacy and ‘spin’, media relations, advertising, recruitment and training and, most notably, high levels of situational awareness (detect and deter). In operational terms, it entails both a defensive (react and respond) and an offensive dimension (probe and push). 1.2 East, south and inside To what extent is all this applicable – and how equally – to Russia and the so-called Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), i.e. the two external players which have contributed the most to destabilising the EU and its neighbours in recent years? Given that both have engaged in aggressive messaging and deceptive media campaigns, a qualified use of the term ‘strategic communications’ for both seems in order. That said, a degree of differentiation may be necessary, namely between a large state with powerful resources and extensive outreach (also to fellow ‘nationals’ in third countries) – one with which the EU and its Member States still cooperate on a number of issues – and a dispersed organisation – combining state-like behaviour where it is in control of territory with a sect-like modus operandi – acting across borders and outside the law. Accordingly, this paper will analyse the ‘what’ and the ‘how’: the respective narratives of each actor, their specificities, their similarities and their differences – but without entering into a contest over which represents a more ‘clear and present danger’. Both are serious, and each is unique in its own way. 1 P.Cornish, J.Lindley-French, C.Yorke, Strategic Communications and National Strategy, Chatham House Report, September 2011, p.4. 4 EU strategic communications with a view to counteracting propaganda And how can Europeans respond to their strategic communications campaigns? This paper will also highlight what has been and is being undertaken – notably, but not exclusively, by the EU (and in this respect, under what constraints and within what limits). Finally, it will explore what more could be done, what could be done better, as well as how and by whom in the current context. Particular attention will be devoted to the sources, the vectors, the conduits, the targets – including unconventional ones – and of course the responses. Dedicated boxes will be used to highlight specific aspects of the problem and complement the core analysis. For the EUISS, as an autonomous EU agency funded exclusively by the Member States, the main focus will have to be, however, on the role that EU institutions, bodies and agencies have played and can play in this domain – without any detailed or systematic reference to initiatives at the national level. Looking into these would also require time and resources and, above all, is likely to lead to modest results, as at least some of the relevant activities in and by the Member States often fall into the domain of intelligence and counter-intelligence. 5 Policy Department, Directorate-General for External Policies 2 Strategic communications from the east: Russia Russia’s strategic communications are complex, both with regard to ideas and institutions. Carried out both directly and through proxies, they shape people’s perceptions of the EU – be it inside Russia, in the Eastern Partnership (EaP) states or in the EU itself, as well as its candidate countries. In light of the goals it intends to achieve, Russia’s messaging has proved quite effective, if not necessarily consistent: while often crude and deceitful in terms of content, its delivery is sophisticated, targeted and tailored to different audiences, and capable of exploiting the EU’s weaknesses. 2.1 Russia’s grand narrative(s)… The so-called ‘Colour Revolutions’ in Georgia and Ukraine were a wake-up call for Russia. The resulting internal debate on what went wrong led Moscow to conclude that it needed to build up its own ‘soft power’, partly by making more attractive offers, but partly also by developing the machinery to promote itself through media, non-governmental organisations (NGOs), and other key players – from business lobbies to political parties. Most importantly, this was accompanied by the realisation that ‘selling’ Russia was not enough. The ‘attractiveness gap’ between Russia and the EU had to be bridged by improving Russia’s standing – mainly through the promotion of the ‘Russian World’ (Russkiy Mir) – but also by reducing that of the EU. The launch of Russia Today (RT), a dedicated TV channel, just one year after the Orange Revolution in Ukraine, was the first tangible outcome of Russia’s lessons learned2. While the economic crisis that has dominated much of the last decade did not give much for Russia to boast about, it did generate a stream of negative news about the outside world, especially the EU.

The Yugoslav Peoples's Army: Between Civil War and Disintegration by Dr. Timothy L. Sanz Foreign Military Studies Office, Fort Leavenworth, KS. This article appeared originally in Military Review December 1991 Pages 36-45 August, a crisis in the Balkans, and a revolutionary upheaval in part of Europe--these words raise the hair on the back of the neck. Just a bit less than eighty years ago, Europe inaugurated this century of total war, thanks to the inability of its monarchs, statesmen, and generals to deal with a Balkan Crisis, the latest manifestation of what diplomats then called the "accursed Eastern Question." In the wake of that failure of statecraft, million-man armies marched into battle from one end of the continent to the other. Looking back on the long interval of peace which Europe has enjoyed since the end of the Second World War, the present crisis confirms the reality of a profound shift in the European security system and raises the question of whether the emerging security system in Europe will be able to deal with new Balkan crises. For several decades, while the military might of two ideologically-hostile blocs stood poised for action in Central Europe, a hypothetical internal crisis in Yugoslavia was often seen as an element in a scenario for bringing about a NATO-WTO military confrontation.

(in spite of the U.S. persistently insisting that it was a sui generis case), it is becoming increasingly more important not only to finally independently study the "mob or sole assailant"5 aspect of the contemporary U.S. international approach but, even more, to dedicate particular at- tention to the post- and extra-combat involvement (or the lack of it) of the "international community" in the management6 of the territories and the people "liberated"7 by it. * 2do Seminario Internacional "Análisis e incidencia de las políticas públicas" – EGAP – Tecnológico de Mon- terrey – 25 y 26 de Septiembre 2013 – México 1 Strictly legally speaking, no war was declared by the aggressors (the U.S. called it "hostilities" and "military opera- tions in Kosovo"). The government of the attacked sovereign founding member of the U.N. didn't denounce the ag- gression as war (only after the November 2012 Strasbourg Court ruling that "war veterans" must be paid for the time served in the "war of 1999" did Serbia implicitly recognize NATO aggression as a war).

  • MEDIA POLARIZATION “À LA FRANÇAISE”? Comparing the French and American Ecosystems
    institut montaigne MEDIA POLARIZATION “À LA FRANÇAISE”? Comparing the French and American Ecosystems REPORT MAY 2019 MEDIA POLARIZATION “À LA FRANÇAISE” MEDIA POLARIZATION There is no desire more natural than the desire for knowledge MEDIA POLARIZATION “À LA FRANÇAISE”? Comparing the French and American Ecosystems MAY 2019 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In France, representative democracy is experiencing a growing mistrust that also affects the media. The latter are facing major simultaneous challenges: • a disruption of their business model in the digital age; • a dependence on social networks and search engines to gain visibility; • increased competition due to the convergence of content on digital media (competition between text, video and audio on the Internet); • increased competition due to the emergence of actors exercising their influence independently from the media (politicians, bloggers, comedians, etc.). In the United States, these developments have contributed to the polarization of the public square, characterized by the radicalization of the conservative press, with significant impact on electoral processes. Institut Montaigne investigated whether a similar phenomenon was at work in France. To this end, it led an in-depth study in partnership with the Sciences Po Médialab, the Sciences Po School of Journalism as well as the MIT Center for Civic Media. It also benefited from data collected and analyzed by the Pew Research Center*, in their report “News Media Attitudes in France”. Going beyond “fake news” 1 The changes affecting the media space are often reduced to the study of their most visible symp- toms. For instance, the concept of “fake news”, which has been amply commented on, falls short of encompassing the complexity of the transformations at work.

  • Rural Development and Migration: an Environmental Dimension
    CHAPTER 5 RURAL DEVELOPMENT AND MIGRATION: AN ENVIRONMENTAL DIMENSION Omar Bassaoud, Ciheam-Montpellier Ahmad Sadiddin, FAO The studies of the CIHEAM had drawn up a critical assessment of the situations that prevailed in the agricultural and rural world of southern Mediterranean coun- tries at the end of the years 2000: demographic vitality and rural exodus as a con- sequence of the farming crisis, poverty and precariousness of rural territories, ill-planned urbanisation, serious degradation of natural resources and high inequal- ities in the distribution of wealth (CIHEAM and Blue Plan, 2009 ; CIHEAM and AFD, 2011; CIHEAM, 2016). This research also focuses on the failures of agricultural and rural public policies that have led to the marginalisation, if not the exclusion, of rural areas from development processes. Today, it is clear that migratory phenomena are the ultimate consequences of these complex situations of poverty and unequal access to wealth, combined with political conflicts in the Arab countries (Egypt, Sudan, Tunisia, Libya and Syria), that have pushed hundreds of thousands of people – sometimes putting their lives at risk – to leave their villages, countries or region. In recent years, the acceleration of these flows, mainly towards Europe, has imposed migration issues on international polit- ical agendas (Schmoll et al., 2015)1. The review of an increasingly abundant literature on migration issues enables to establish close links between internal and cross-border migrations affecting southern Mediterranean countries (Thiollet, 2013). These studies show that in the Mediter- ranean, migrations have experienced a rapid change in (huge influx) flows, forms (undocumented migration), profiles of migrants (men, women, children), destina- tions and new routes and networks used (South-North, South-South) (NAQD, 2009; Insaniyat, 2015).
