RESILIENCE AS A STRATEGIC PILLAR OF COGNITIVE SECURITY

This article explores resilience as a strategic response to the emerging challenges of cognitive warfare, increasingly acknowledged as a critical security threat of the twenty-first century. It argues that resilience should be conceived not merely as a defensive measure, but also as a political and social resource essential to safeguarding cognitive sovereignty. Drawing on a critical review of scholarly literature, NATO and EU strategic documents, as well as selected case studies of cognitive operations, the study identifies key psychological and societal vulnerabilities alongside mechanisms that can reinforce resilience. The practical implications underscore the importance of fostering public awareness, strengthening digital and emotional competences, consolidating institutional frameworks, and deepening international cooperation.
