Description

This course provides advanced interdisciplinary study into the development of cyber policy in China across social, economic, political, military and technological domains. China is universally regarded as the major player alongside the United States in the future of information technologies and their beneficial or malicious uses impacting on diplomacy and international security. China wants to compete with the world’s most advanced countries in economic and military power. It knows that this depends on high-speed, innovative application of the most modern information technologies -- that China has to become a sophisticated information-based society. But does China have what it takes to get there? Are its leaders prepared to do what it takes to get there? The answer so far appears to be “not really”! This course will provide students with the tools and the opportunity to make their own assessment of the likely outcome of China’s information society ambition from a comprehensive point of view, looking at economic, political and military considerations -- and grounded in a broad ethical vision.
