Information Operations and Information Warfare

The objective of this course is to (1) introduce the student to the basic concepts of information operations and information warfare; (2) develop an understanding of the use of information as a tool of statecraft and as a weapon of war; and (3) analyze our strengths and weaknesses, and those of our potential adversaries, in this realm.
