The aim of this seminar will be to study a series of strategic issues that are key to a proper understanding of contemporary international security and defense issues, setting out the conceptual, political and legal frameworks for understanding major strategic balances (nuclear deterrence, proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, arms control and disarmament, legal and ethical debates, economic issues, etc.), and placing them in the context of major current crises and unstable zones: Ukraine, Iran, North Korea, Asia, etc.
