Auditorium A2
This session provides students with an overview of the opportunities and challenges for the progressive digital transformation of international relations. Internet, social media, mobiles and other recent digital technology advances such as blockchain and artificial intelligence have unleashed powerful forces that shape and reshape the balance of power on the international stage. Technologies affect the performance of information-based activities and change how individuals, communities and organizations interact with each other. From digital diplomacy to cybersecurity, state and non-state actors must adapt to this new normal, and develop new competencies and instruments to influence, cooperate and compete.
This session is part of Digital Skills Workshop "The Internet, Power, and the Civil Society", which is open to all students of the Graduate Institute.
Registration is required. For information on other sessions and registration, please visit the workshop guide.
