Technology & Geopolitical Risk

2 Credits.

Advancements in science and technology have been major drivers for geopolitical shifts throughout history. This course intends to give students the tools to understand, analyze, and integrate emergent technologies (from AI to blockchain and drones to virtual reality) in their understanding of geopolitical trends, of how technologies affect our societies (positively or negatively), international development and relations, as well as the long-term sustainability of corporates and the demands on regulatory institutions.
