Lehrinhalte
Technological and scientific progress, especially the rapid development in information technology (IT), plays a crucial role regarding questions of peace and security. This course addresses the significance, potentials and challenges of IT for peace and security. For this purpose, the course offers an introduction to peace, conflict, and security research, thereby focusing on natural-science, technical and computer science perspectives. It thereby sheds light on cyber conflicts, war and peace, cyber arms control, cyber attribution and infrastructures as well as culture and interaction before an outlook is given.
CONTENT:
- Introduction to Natural-Science/Technical Peace Research and IT Perspectives of Peace, Conflict, and Security Research
- Cyber War, Espionage, Defense, Darknets, Critical Infrastructures, Cultural Violence
- Cyber Peace, Dual-Use, Confidence and Security Building Measures, Arms Control, Unmanned Systems, Verification, Attribution
STRUCTURE:
- Part I: Introduction und Foundations (Introduction and Overview, IT in Peace, Conflict and Security Research (Natural-Science/Technical Peace Research))
- Part II: Cyber War and Conflict (Information Warfare, Cyber Espionage and Cyber Defense, Darknets as Tools for Cyber Warfare)
- Part III: Cyber Peace (From Cyberwar to Cyberpeace, Dual-Use and Dilemmas of Cybersecurity, Confidence and Security Building Measures for Cyber Forces)
- Part IV: Cyber Arms Control (Arms Control and its Applicability to Cyberspace, Unmanned Systems: The Robotic Revolution, Verification in Cyberspace)
- Part V: Cyber Attribution and Infrastructures (Attribution of Cyber Attacks, Resilient Critical Infrastructures, Security of Critical Information Infrastructures)
