Research program
Examining extremism, terrorism, disinformation and threats to democracy across the security and international relations domains
The Transnational Challenges Program examines issues that cut across both international relations and national security domains, including terrorism and extremism, disinformation and foreign interference, as well as the impacts of digital technologies and artificial intelligence on security and society.
The Program currently manages a number of projects examining new forms of violent extremism, the shifting counter-terrorism landscape, digital threats to democracy, the mapping of democratic erosion, and points of intervention.
The Program also contributes to the Institute’s core publications, podcasts, events and public engagement, including through media commentary and consultations with government and industry stakeholders.
