Integrity Initiative
The UK deep state Integrity Initiative touched on GLOBSEC in one of its 2018 documents, Upskilling to Upscale: Unleashing the Capacity of Civil Society to Counter Disinformation.[2] "Disinformation" refers to everything not fitting the Western government narrative:
- GLOBSEC, SSPI and FactCheck are all associated with political elites in their home countries, meaning they are considered either clearly pro-government or pro-opposition. GLOBSEC has reportedly been involved in shaping Slovakian government policy, which impacts its domestic reputation.[2]
- Slovakian think tank GLOBSEC carries out unique research on public perceptions of and reactions to Russian narratives and conspiracy theories within the region. The think tank publishes the annual GLOBSEC Trends report, which covers Eastern and Central Europe and analyses public opinion on various issues including East-West relations, the EU, Russia, NATO, and media consumption.[2]
- Through its Stratcom programme, Slovakia-based GLOBSEC runs a series of high profile research projects such as its annual GLOBSEC Trends report, which maps the effects of disinformation on public attitudes through a series of opinion polls in the Czech Republic, Hungary, and Slovakia, three states vulnerable to Russian influence. This enabled them to compare public perceptions of the EU, NATO, and the role of the US in these countries over time. GLOBSEC serves as a model of what can be achieved when an organisation is given adequate funding. Their Stratcom programme is run by four people with external co-operators across the region.[2]
- Awareness-raising activities are of core importance as a tool for challenging the infiltration and spread of disinformation into the public consciousness. There are few organisations across Europe with the ability and resources to effectively design and deliver these, though there have been examples of successful campaigns which others could learn from.[2]
- GLOBSEC launched an inventive and engaging campaign using social media in order to bring attention to the risks posed by disinformation. They used two of the most popular Slovak bloggers to create a false online flame-war, pitting their fans against each other. There were subtle clues that the fight was false, and after several days it was revealed that it was a hoax to show people how easy it is to be fooled if information is not checked properly. The campaign achieved 1.2 million views in a country of 5 million; though it should be noted that there was some spill over into the Czech Republic. GLOBSEC assessed it as the most successful counter-disinformation campaign in the region.
