Building FIMI resilience through models of practice: Taiwan’s 2024 elections
Foreign information manipulation and interference (FIMI) is a shared challenge for democracies across the globe. Faced with China’s well-resourced FIMI campaigns against Taiwan’s 13 January 2024 election, the island’s resilience has been closely studied. To equip others to readily learn from Taiwan’s experience, Taiwanese civil society organisation Doublethink Lab worked with Ben Graham Jones to document the key characteristics of Taiwan’s FIMI resilience.
The ultimate aim is to reach beyond the information integrity community and provide strategic fuel for decision-makers to envision goals for whole-society resilience. This webinar will discuss the findings and consider the long-term direction of global FIMI resilience.
