Russian Revisionism and Cyberspace
This seminar will discuss Russia’s use of cyberspace for revisionist purposes in the international system and the West’s failure - so far - to counter it. Contemporary Russia is no ordinary world power. Its leaders strive to alter the international order more than preserve it. This aspiration embodies ideological as much as material goals. The main targets of Russia's activist foreign policy are the Western liberal nations that dominate the current international order and their aspiring partners in Russia's near abroad. Cyber activity is a central element of this programme of change.
