The Disinformation Resilience Index (DRI) study covers four Visegrad countries (Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia) and six Eastern Partnership states (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova, Ukraine).
Since 2021 DRI edition, major changes have taken place in the political landscape and international relations of countries throughout Central and Eastern Europe. Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine was a groundbreaking event that has challenged and shaken Europe’s security and stability. The report reviews changes in national resilience to disinformation in the ten countries since 2021.
Each country chapter follows an identical structure, and in addition to an abstract and a concluding recommendations section, they consist of the following sections: Overview of the latest topical studies, Effect of the Russian full-scale invasion of Ukraine on national resilience to disinformation, Changes in the national media landscape, Changes in the legal and institutional framework, and Responses by the media and civil society.
A quantitative Disinformation Resilience Index across the Central and Eastern European countries was measured based on online expert surveys (a minimum of 10 responses per country). In comparison with the 2021 DRI study, certain changes in the methodology of DRI and its composite indicators were introduced. Read more about the research project here.
The report was co-financed by the Governments of Czechia, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia through Visegrad Grants from International Visegrad Fund. The mission of the fund is to advance ideas for sustainable regional cooperation in Central Europe.
