A Cyber World

About

Join this track to explore the fascinating and ubiquitous Cyberspace and the many socio-political, military, and technical challenges that interconnectivity and cyber reliance pose to individuals, businesses, states, critical infrastructure, online venues, etc. We will walk you through strategy and cybersecurity, remarking the relevance of sensitive policymaking oriented to keep cyberspace and our society safe and operative.

The track will thus help students develop analytical capacities to understand the cyber domain as both a new battlefield and an operational space where new actors, mostly non-state organizations, have been mobilizing power. Our modules provide deeper knowledge of several of the canonical cases that continue to influence the study and practice of international security today.

Course aim

Through a combination of frontal lectures, seminars, live interviews, and presentations by world-leading experts, students are invited to embrace and appreciate the comprehensiveness and complexity entailed in cybersecurity. The track provides students with an in-depth understanding of the main underlying themes in cybersecurity studies. In doing so, the module aims to inspire participants to think as holistically as possible, to challenge common wisdom, and to express themselves in the debates that will arise throughout the lessons.
