Analyzing the foreign policy tools of nations in peace and war
RESEARCH FOCUS: THE FUTURE OF CONFLICT
With the Russian Federation's invasion of Ukraine, Europe is experiencing its largest ground war since the Second World War. The conflict has seen the application of new technologies and tactics that underscore the ever-changing nature of war, and which hold immense implications for current and future conflicts elsewhere.
Below the threshold of kinetic warfare, tensions between the world's great powers in the Indo-Pacific and beyond reveal the diversity of strategy available to nations seeking to advance their security interests. From cyber attacks to grey-zone tactics which skirt the boundaries of actionable hostility, nations face a variety of novel challenges in the pursuit of security.
In the 2022-2023 academic year, the Security and Diplomacy group will explore these themes and others in our research. We aim to understand these new trends in technology, tactics, and strategy, and to gain insight into the future of conflict.
