About the course 'Intelligence and Conflict in a Digital Era'
This course adopts a perspective rooted in the disciplines of political science and international relations to investigate intelligence and conflict in a digital era. It traces how the Internet has transformed interstate relations, and the work of intelligence agencies in turn, 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. It also critically analyses the world of digital espionage, where governments and companies steal secrets remotely for profit, security and power. We also explore the impact of digital powers and techniques that intelligence agencies and private companies use upon privacy and civil liberties. Read more
