Patching the Liberal World Order: How Can International Cooperation Pwn Emerging Cyber Challenges

Subtitle: 
Jean Monnet Center of Excellence Workshop

Michael Colaresi, Political Science and various

Date: 
Thu, 07/19/2018 (All day) to Fri, 07/20/2018 (All day)

The computing and digital revolutions have created new tools and capabilities that are challenging the liberal world order. If the Cold War was an era of static state superpowers, modern computing gives not only developed states but even a moderately trained rebel group their own superpowers: to teleport their presence around the globe, move vast sums of money instantly, and make evidence vanish. From Wikileaks to the hacking of elections, headlines across the democratic world have highlighted transnational cyber-enabled crime, violence and polarization.

Reasserting the center of the nation state: How supranational institutions reshape the public sector

Presenter: 
Philipp Trein, University of Lausanne
Event Status: 
As Scheduled
Date: 
Mon, 04/16/2018 - 12:00

In this talk, I will analyze the impact of institutionalization at the supranational level on reforms that integrate and/or coordinate existing policy sectors at the domestic level. More specifically, I argue that the ongoing agencification of the European Union, where European agencies have been established with the aim of providing policy advice and fostering cooperation, has crucially strengthened these reforms.
