About this subject

Technological capacity is increasingly a defining feature of security capability, whether at the national or international level. In recent years, security cooperation between states has involved non-state actors with technical expertise, products, and solutions. This subject provides students with a foundation to approach questions about technology in security: How does technology promise to solve key concerns for security and sovereignty? How do technologies shape security interests, definitions, or objectives? What are the dynamics of competition and cooperation between different state and non-state actors in terms of technology governance and/or regulation? The subject is structured in three parts: sovereignty and technology, dual use technology, and global norms and governance relevant to the intersection of security and technology. Please Note: All students studying at Murdoch University will need to complete the compulsory unit, Murdoch Academic Passport (MAP100), which only takes 2-3 hours to complete online.
