If EU wants to shape and change the world of tomorrow, as it is declared in its Global Strategy, gaining strategic leverage in the digital environment will be pivotal. Despite the recent developments in EU’s external policy planning, EU has a limited focus on cyber challenges, specifically responding to cyber-terrorism, leaving aside other opportunities and challenges a world in digital transformation will eventually bring. For example, how will digital diplomacy affect bilateral and multilateral relations within the EU and beyond? What remote capabilities can be developed in a post-conflict scenario to increase EU’s external influence? In essence, what does EU’s strategic autonomy mean in a digitally transformed world? The past five years, EU’s Global Strategy set a record for breaking “little taboos” of its defence and security policy. First, with the establishment of the Union’s military headquarters, the Military Planning and Conduct Capability (MCPP), designed to provide military coordination of EU’s external missions, and in practice laying out EU’s defence planning. Second, the European Defence Fund acquired defence capabilities for its member states, effectively safeguarding state-of-the-art research on digital defence performed within the EU. Third, with a clear and precise framework, the Union’s strategic autonomy, essentially expanded EU’s footing in shaping the “rules, norms and laws” of the world. Virtually, these internal transformations have practically established the EU as an external actor that could coexist with NATO, cooperate multilaterally with its transnational partners, and at the same time achieve strategic autonomy. The learning outcomes of this course are three folded. Firstly, students will recognize characteristics of foreign policy and describe what EU current foreign and security policy aspires to achieve. They will also discuss what is the Global Strategy and how it relates to other foreign policies such as the US’s, China’s and Russia’s. Throughout the course activities with real cases will prompt students to apply their knowledge on digital security challenges to discuss in groups and explain EU’s actorness in a world of digital transformation. Moreover, students will be in a position to discuss the “cyber warfare” debate and constructively debate characteristics of different forms of warfare analysing recent cases. In addition, students based on their knowledge of the current cases they will be able to explain the actions of international actors, that are mainly states, and the actions of the EU to defend itself from digitals threats. For that purpose, students will discuss extensively questions like, “Why did this state acted the way it did?” or “Why did this leader acted the way she did?”.

The evaluation of the course in the form of written work and short presentation aims at enabling students to demonstrate their developing knowledge on EU’s role in cyberspace and also to discuss and interpret academic papers on EU’s foreign policy.
