Dialogic supports governments, implementation organizations, and vital providers in various ways to increase the resilience of the Netherlands, both in safeguarding security and strengthening resilience. We are particularly focused on the following themes:
- Economic security
- Knowledge security
- Vital processes and vital sectors
- Resilience, risk, and threat analyses
- Digital resilience
Within (digital) resilience, the theme of strategic autonomy often plays a significant role. For policymakers, there is a crucial trade-off here with significant economic consequences. On one hand, the Netherlands must become less dependent on foreign providers or technologies. On the other hand, we want to continue using technologies and services that are not available within the Netherlands. Additionally, there are sometimes high transition costs when reducing dependencies, and transitioning can introduce short-term risks depending on the case.
Policy research can help to better understand this trade-off and eventually shape better policies. It often starts with a thorough risk analysis of current dependencies. Following this, a scenario analysis and an inventory of alternatives can determine how this will develop in the future. Based on this, an action plan can be formulated to reduce dependencies where necessary. This may include measures that, alongside positively impacting resilience, can also have positive economic effects. For example, think of competition-stimulating policies in the context of (for instance) European DMA and DSA legislation.
