TSAJ5010 SSA1: The Landscape of Hybrid Threats: Culture and Changing Nature of War (3 cr)

The University of Jyväskylä (JYU) is organizing a summer course, “The landscape of hybrid threats: culture and changing nature of war“, where we study how culture expresses the “memory” of the people – in culture creativity meets the existing paradigms and trends beyond pure rational analysis, but also how this can those be exploited (vulnerabilities in the Culture domain) and how the domain of culture could also be part of resilience (Culture and Diversity to protect / immunizing against HT/HW).

Subjects to be covered:

• Culture as an indicator of hybrid crisis / hybrid threat / warfare impact (Project Kassandra) (Brace for Impact) (HyFuTec)
• Strategic Culture: authoritarian strategic culture versus democratic states strategic culture versus state specific strategic culture (R&D)
• „Culture eats strategy for breakfast“– how culture impacts policies and (military) strategies (S&D)
• Culture in the age of information and AI (HyFuTec). / Cyber “Culture” (e.g. Desinformation)
