The course provides advanced interdisciplinary study into the ways in which the advent of advanced information and communications technology has influenced military strategy and operations with special reference to Asian security. It complements an existing course on Cyber Security and World Politics and a proposed new course on Transformation of Australian Security in the Information Age. The course looks first at the cases of individual major powers (USA, China, Russia, India, Japan) and a range of middle powers (Iran, Israel, UAE, North and South Korea, Pakistan, Australia). It then looks at how the international system has responded to new dilemmas of cyberspace affecting national and international security (cyber alliances, diplomatic strategies, mass surveillance, new and old norms, role of the globalized private sector, and cross-border critical information infrastructure.) The final section of the course deals with some of the big analytical and policy dilemmas: cyber impacts on military nuclear, terrorism and cyberspace, information ethics and highly secure computing.
