23rd SUMMER COURSE TRENTO - ITALY 3-13 AUGUST, 2002
"CYBERWAR, NETWAR AND THE REVOLUTION IN MILITARY AFFAIRS: REAL THREATS
AND VIRTUAL MYTHS"
ISODARCO has been organizing residential courses on global security
since 1966.
The courses are intended for people already having a professional
interest in the problems of disarmament and conflicts, or for those who
would like to play a more active and technically competent role in this
field.
The courses have an interdisciplinary nature, and their subject matters
extend from the technical and scientific side of the problems to their
sociological and political implications.
Cyberwar, Netwar and the Revolution in Military Affairs have given rise
to a lively discussion in political and military circles in the last few
years.
Issues of major importance are: the relation between computers and
regional defense; the threat of "cyberterrorism" as well as "cyberwar";
emerging forms of network organization and how information technology
supports them;
the impact of information technology developments in military doctrine
and
organization of military forces.
Of comparable importance is the issue of the possible implications on
civil society and civil liberties possibly brought about by
counter-measures
to cyberwar and netwar.
