As state and non-state adversaries continue to utilize unconventional tools to influence and coerce Western democracies, the United States and its partners must develop effective, integrated approaches to identify and counter these gray zone activities. This half-day conference will examine historical examples of both successful and unsuccessful attempts by the West to counter malicious activity in the gray zone and, by looking at today's current challenges from Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea, discuss how the West can adapt going forward.
This event is made possible by support from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Finland.
