This seminar explores the theme of new security theories with a special focus on cybersecurity within East Asia and its comparison to EU cybersecurity approach. Topics like cybersecurity are increasingly in the focus of global policymaking. How we manage the Internet and secure the net and use of the “inter-net” will define much of our society. In light of evolving security dynamics and increasing cyber threats, cybercrimes, and cyberattacks, as well as cybersecurity policies, strategies, and regulatory frameworks, this seminar provides students with insights into the conceptual frameworks of security theory, geopolitical security, and cybersecurity across multiple actors/regions, focusing on the EU, China, the Korean Peninsula, and Japan.
Students will gain insights into cybersecurity challenges, national and international security policy responses, and theoretical foundations of (cyber)security, fostering a deeper understanding of how cybersecurity shapes international relations and the geopolitical landscape impacting East Asia’s cybersecurity frameworks. Students will conduct research and presentations that will foster lively discussions and feedback, helping them to refine their research skills for use in their M.A. thesis work.
