The cognitive aspects of Europeʼs security and defence challengesSenčar, Igor (Avtor) cognitive resilienceEuropean Unioninformation warfarenormative conflictrevisionist powerThe European post-Cold War order was based on a pan-European consensus that democracy was the only source of legitimacy % until the Kremlin opposed the realization of a Europe whole, free and at peace with itself. There has been a paradigm change from cooperation to systemic competition. Russian revisionism poses the greatest security threat to Europe. The nature of the threat was realized rather late. The assault on the post-Cold War order was not just a classic war, which relies on hard power; instead, the war also took place in the cognitive sphere, which represents a particular challenge for open, democratic societies. Furthermore, it was also a normative assault. An effective response requires a mental shift and the strengthening of cognitive resilience as well as solidarity as the key foundations of security.20212021-10-18 10:02:41Neznano1204UDK: 355.02:061.1EUISSN pri članku: 2463-9575COBISS_ID: 81113091sl
