About the course 'Cyber Conflict in International relations'
This course adopts a perspective rooted in the disciplines of international relations and international law to investigate conflict in cyberspace. It focuses on the key research skill of writing a ‘literature review’: mapping, understanding, and critiquing the body of knowledge on cyber conflict. This is a highly transferable skill, relevant to academic and professional environments, as it requires students to conduct independent study, summarise their findings accurately, and identify problems and make connections without direct guidance. Students with this skill should also be a more discerning consumers of information in all walks of life, to society’s overall benefit.
In terms of content, this course traces how cyberspace has transformed interstate relations and introduced many new actors onto the scene – from transnational corporations to troll farms and tech-savvy activists. It explores the probability of cyberwar and reflects on the hype around it, both from a political and legal perspective. It also critically analyses the world of state-sponsored disinformation campaigns, digital espionage, and cyber capability proliferation, and what the international community is currently undertaking in an attempt to tackle these issues.
