Motståndskraft : Svensk myndighetsstyrning och hybrida hot

For the past decade, hybrid threats and hybrid war have been established as key concepts within international security politics. However, the ambiguous nature of the concept has created significant problems for science as well as practical policy. This essay examines how long-term resilience is created within Swedish government agencies to counter hybrid threats. Based on the Hybridity Blizzard Model, a qualitative text analysis of appropriation direc-tives from a selection of agencies, analyses how seven different threat dimen-sions are treated during 2009, 2016 and 2025. The study shows that while several threat dimensions are covered, it is often done implicitly and differ-entiated between different sectors of government.This raises questions regarding coordination, use of definitions, and strategic clarity in the Swedish security system. This essay contributes to the under-standing of how an empirically grounded understanding of hybrid threats can be translated into practical governance.
