In this unit, participants will explore how cyber operations and incidents can impact how states interact with one another. Major incidents such as Stuxnet have important geopolitical and geostrategic implications and can change the way states deal with one another.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To understand how cyber operations fit into this complex landscape, participants will first be introduced to the foundations of the field of International Relations. Participants will explore some of the key theories of the field and what they mean, and also examine how \u201ccyber\u201d is changing those theories. The goal is to look beyond purely technical consequences of major cyber incidents and to explore how an incident identified in one part of the world can send political ripples all around the globe.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Finally, participants will look at how private companies engage in international powerplay and what impact this has on international relations and strategy.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n
