Misinformation, often referred to as false or inaccurate information, has become a prevalent issue in the digital age. With the rapid growth of social media platforms and the easy access to information online, misinformation can spread quickly and widely, influencing public opinion, shaping beliefs, and even impacting important societal decisions. Misinformation can take various forms, including fabricated news stories, manipulated images or videos, misleading statistics, and deceptive narratives. It can originate from various sources, including individuals, organisations, or even state actors with specific agendas. The consequences of misinformation can be far-reaching, leading to confusion, mistrust, polarisation, and sometimes even harm to individuals or communities. As such, combating misinformation has become a significant challenge for governments, tech companies, media organisations, and individuals alike, requiring a multi-faceted approach that involves fact-checking, media literacy education, and responsible online behaviour.

Misinformation is not just an issue for the here and now; in its current form, the actions taken as a result of trust in misinformation, or public disinformation campaigns can pose significant risks to society and the political landscape as we know it. To help us unpack these risks, we are privileged to be joined by Professor Stephan Lewandowsky.

Professor Stephan Lewandowsky is a cognitive scientist at the University of Bristol whose main interest is in the pressure points between the architecture of online information technologies and human cognition, and the consequences for democracy that arise from those pressure points.

It is inevitable. Crisis. Every organization is going to face a significant crisis and many more minor incidents in the near future. This is why having a crisis management plan, that is understood, tested, and rehearsed is crucial. Supply costs can skyrocket – your supplier in Turkey is raising costs beyond what you can afford because inflation in Turkey is at 38 percent, Your key supplier of cement in Russia refuses to cell to you because of your construction contracts, you suffer a major lawsuit, or a data breach. All of these problems can put your business plan at risk. If the issue or incident is beyond the scope and capacity of business continuity systems, then you have a crisis.

Today we are joined by Anders Bennstrom, who is one of Sweden’s most well-known crisis management advisors. Anders is currently a senior consultant with 2Secure, one of Europe’s leading risk and crisis management companies in Europe. Before joining 2Secure, Anders worked with the Swedish foritifactions agency, and before that as a crisis management and emergency preparedness manager with a large multinational company.

Season 2 · Episode 64

Monday, February 28, 2022 • Duration 31:06

The International Risk Podcast – Reducing risk by increasing knowledge

Tensions between China and Taiwan, alongside the consequent risks, are nothing new. However, as war begins unfolding in Eastern Europe and Washington inevitably diverts its attentions from Southeast Asia, now more than ever it is crucial to understand how relations between Taiwan and China could affect global supply chains, proliferate risk in the region, and affect the cost-benefit calculations of companies operating in the area

To help us detangle the situation, we are joined by Ryan Hass. Ryan is currently a Senior Fellow at the Brookings Institution, in addition to a nonresident affiliated fellow at Yale Law School. Ryan has an impressive career in foreign policy, having previously served as Director for China, Taiwan, and Mongolia at the National Security Council, where he advised President Obama and senior White House officials on aspects of US foreign policy in the Taiwan Strait. With rising tensions between China and Taiwan, today’s conversation with Ryan is particularly timely.

If you would like to learn more about Ryan and his work, you can read more about his work with Brookings here or access his most recent book 'Stronger: Adapting America's China Strategy in an Age of Competitive Interdependence' .
