Trends in Security Information

The HSD Trendmonitor is designed to provide access to relevant content on various subjects in the safety and security domain, to identify relevant developments and to connect knowledge and organisations. The safety and security domain encompasses a vast number of subjects. Four relevant taxonomies (type of threat or opportunity, victim, source of threat and domain of application) have been constructed in order to visualize all of these subjects. The taxonomies and related category descriptions have been carefully composed according to other taxonomies, European and international standards and our own expertise.

 

In order to identify safety and security related trends, relevant reports and HSD news articles are continuously scanned, analysed and classified by hand according to the four taxonomies. This results in a wide array of observations, which we call ‘Trend Snippets’. Multiple Trend Snippets combined can provide insights into safety and security trends. The size of the circles shows the relative weight of the topic, the filters can be used to further select the most relevant content for you. If you have an addition, question or remark, drop us a line at info@securitydelta.nl.

Geopolitical tension is the strategic tension between states, stemming from structural geographic variables. Competition between rival states often falls under geopolitical tension. Geopolitical tension can be expressed in many ways, from overt symmetric warfare to trade sanctions, corporate espionage, disputes over scarce resources and the undermining of elections.

 

The tensions causing these conflicts usually exist long term, due to their structural nature. These tensions can be worsened or overcome by the political leadership and political direction of the states involved. Whilst geopolitical variables are structural, actors can differ wildly in their perception of these facts. The (mis)interpretation of geographical factors is often quoted as a cause of additional tension. This is also known as the Clausewitzian fog of war. Other sources of geopolitical tension can be found in demographics, such as the access to the high seas, territorial size, submarine communications, cables point of entry, encirclement, space-bound and digital infrastructure.  

 

Related Keywords: military, conflict, diplomacy, cyber, conventional, nuclear, hybrid threats, diplomatic, alliance systems, cyber tension, resource tension, scarce materials.
