The risks posed by the proliferation of cyber weapons are gaining wide recognition among security planners. Yet the general reaction of scholars of international relations has been to neglect the cyber peril owing to its technical novelties and intricacies. This attitude amounts to either or both of two claims: the problem is not of sufficient scale to warrant close inspection, or it is not comprehensible to a non-technical observer. This seminar will challenge both assertions.
Please join us! Coffee and tea provided. Everyone is welcome, but admittance will be on a first come–first served basis.

The Spread of Violent Civil Conflict: Rare, State-Driven, and Preventable
Brown Bag Lunch
Open to the Public - Belfer Center Library, Littauer-369
May 10, 2012
12:15-2:00 p.m.
Speaker: Nathan Black, Research Fellow, International Security Program
Related Project: International Security
Since the end of World War II, many U.S. military interventions in developing world civil conflicts have been motivated, in part, by a fear that if a given conflict is not stopped early, it may spread across borders later and destabilize an entire region. In this seminar, the speaker will explore the true frequency with which violent civil conflicts spread across borders and discuss why conflicts spread in some cases but not others.
Please join us! Coffee and tea provided. Everyone is welcome, but admittance will be on a first come–first served basis.
