Abstract

ABSTRACT Situational awareness in the face of hybrid campaigns is undermined by ‘blind spots’, which this article conceptualises. Blind spots are where legal or political frameworks preclude intelligence gathering below the threshold of war. Drawing on a historical case study of alterations in legislation and security police directives in Norway from 1950–2021, the analysis shows how an influence operation’s blind spot varied along with shifts in the balance between national security concerns and democratic individual rights. Recent initiatives to criminalise domestic collaboration with foreign influence operators are discussed, and the advent of AI and microtargeting presented as a challenge out of reach of such legislation.

在盲点:挪威的影响行动和阈下态势感知

面对混合战役的态势感知被“盲点”所破坏，本文对其进行了概念化。盲点是指法律或政治框架禁止在战争门槛以下收集情报的地方。通过对1950年至2021年挪威立法和安全警察指令变化的历史案例研究，分析显示了影响行动的盲点如何随着国家安全关切与民主个人权利之间平衡的变化而变化。本文讨论了最近将国内与外国影响力运营商合作定为刑事犯罪的举措，并将人工智能和微目标的出现视为此类立法无法触及的挑战。
