Current Work
CSRC team members are at any one time engaged on a wide range of projects, whether working independently, on site with customers, or as part of a project team. This page will give a flavour of work currently in hand, with links to downloadable product where this is already in the public domain.
Andreas Turunen
Andreas recently contributed to the Springer publication Cyber security: Power and Technology a chapter on the compability between Fifth-Generation Warfare (5GW) theory and the existence of the alternative media ecosystems that spread conspiratorial thinking and disinformation on social media platforms. His current research project concerns the theoretical framework of the concept of hybrid warfare and more specifically the definition of the full-spectrum conflict.Besides academic publications, Andreas is regularly consulting for a range of research and publishing projects related to his area of expertise. He also writes on online publishing platforms about the topics of his personal interest. The development of the russiamilitarywatch.com site constitutes a considerable part of his activities.
Shima Keene
Dr Keene is a subject matter expert in security and justice, focusing on security
challenges that destabilise fragile and conflict affected states. Her research
has examined a number of interrelated security challenges such as serious organised
crime, international terrorism and corruption, as well as the effectiveness
of interventions to tackle these issues. In addition to her publications, Shima
provides training and table top exercises to facilitate deep cross sector subject
matter understanding and learning. She also advises on how security challenges
can be mitigated through interventions to establish effective rule of law intuitions
and practices.
