This seminar aims to open up and deepen reflection on the place and role of cyber in current conflicts, as the themes of escalation and deterrence return to the center of strategic discussions since Russia’s invasion of Crimea in 2014 and especially since the outbreak of large-scale war in Ukraine on February 24, 2022.
The aim will be to critically read and analyze existing strategic literature on these themes, as well as to study known cases of cyberattacks against nuclear infrastructures or in the context of armed conflicts, and will involve students in the preparation of a study day on the relationship between cyber conflictuality and nuclear deterrence in the age of “high-intensity conflict” in Europe.
