The vital impact of technology on international affairs and international politics is increasingly addressed in interdisciplinary approaches linked to International Relations. Cases and debates on (cyber) warfare, digital capitalism and (platform) economics illustrate that. This lecture series, therefore, addresses various aspects of this broad phenomenon, giving space to scholars from different fields who will present the latest findings of their research.
