Georgetown University Redefining Geopolitical Relationships (INAF 515)

Fall 2009 Draft as of September 8, 2009 Professor: Senator Chuck Hagel Research Assistant: Sarah King (smk66@ Tuesdays 4:15-6:05pm "Nations have no permanent friends and no permanent enemies. Only permanent interests." --Lord Henry John Temple, 3rd Viscount Palmerston

Introduction Welcome to INAF 515. The 21st Century has ushered in a global transformation that is redefining the world order. This transformation is shifting geo-political centers of gravity and is re-casting geo-political influences as the world experiences an unprecedented diffusion of power. This course will examine the above thesis is this in fact happening? Are the six and a half billion people in the world soon to be eight billion and the nations they reside in, redefining geo-political relationships governed by the new realities of global challenges? Global challenges such as an interconnected global economy, proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, terrorism, environmental and energy issues, pandemic health threats, poverty, despair, and new technologies. Are we entering a new era of global engagement and accommodation? Is all of this reshaping and redefining relationships? This course will focus on a wide-lens optic of global relationships and its impact on American foreign policy and Americas future. Scope and Purpose In this course students will examine the past, present, and future. They will seek to determine whether geopolitical relationships are shifting, why, and how they may be impacting the world order. Students will go beyond their survey of scholarly information to draw realistic and useful conclusions about how organizations (private, public, non-profit, transnational, etc.) and individuals can best prepare to take on the challenges of the 21st Century. Students will learn from and consult scholarly research, a variety theoretical perspectives, case studies, foreign policy leaders, and current events to contribute to class discussions, assignments, and overall expertise. We will also invite experts and leaders from the international affairs community to select seminars to provide on-the-ground insight. Beyond acquiring new knowledge and perspectives, building strong analytical writing and presentation skills will be

important. In and out of class exercises will illustrate key concepts and challenge students to be thinking, articulate, and conscientious international affairs professionals.

"Diplomacy should be judged by what it prevents, not only by what it initiates and creates. Much of it is a holding action, designed to avoid explosion until the unifying forces of history take humanity into their embrace. --Abba Eban

Scope and Purpose Pointing to the increasingly global nature of the worlds economy, the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, terrorism, environmental and energy issues, pandemic health threats, poverty, despair, and new technologies, some have argued that a global transformation is underway that is shifting geopolitical centers of gravity and re-casting geopolitical influences. This course examines whether the 21st century has ushered in a global transformation that is redefining the world order and geopolitical relationships. Students will seek to determine whether geopolitical relationships are shifting, why, and how they may be impacting the world order. The course poses the following questions: Is the world experiencing an unprecedented diffusion of power? Are economic, technological, and demographic transformations in fact having the impact that proponents claim? Are we entering a new era of global engagement and accommodation? Are these new challenges and realities reshaping and redefining traditional political and security relationships?

This course will focus on the big picture of global relationships and their impact on American foreign policy now and in the future. Students will learn from and consult scholarly research using a variety of theoretical perspectives, case studies, foreign policy leaders, and current events to contribute to class discussions, written and oral assignments, and overall expertise. Students will go beyond their survey of scholarly information to draw realistic and useful conclusions about how organizations (private, public, non-profit, transnational, etc.) and individuals can best prepare to meet the 21st centurys challenges. We will also invite experts and leaders from the international affairs community to select seminars to provide on-the-ground insight.

Beyond acquiring new knowledge and perspectives, the course also aims to build and hone strong analytical writing and presentation skills.

Cyber Security Simulation Scenario BREAKING NEWS April 6. 20:00 An unknown entity has conducted a cyber attack on Bank of America and Wells Fargo, affecting several parts of the nations financial infrastructure over the course of the past two weeks. Specifically, credit-card processing facilities are hacked and numbers are released to the Internet, causing 20 million cards to be cancelled; automated teller machines (ATMs) fail nearly simultaneously across the nation; major companies report payroll checks are not being received by workers; and several large pension and mutual fund companies have computer malfunctions so severe that they are unable to operate for more than a week. The two companies hold over $1.3 billion in deposits. Analysts believe these attacks will shatter faith in the stability of the financial system, which is already weak due to the global financial crisis. Citizens are loosing trust in all parts of the U.S. financial system and foreign speculators are making a run on the dollar. Although it is unclear who is behind this attack, initial reports indicate this was several years in the making.

Cyber Security Simulation April 2010 Context: Cyber security has become an increasingly relevant international security issue, one that will only become more pressing in the 21st Century. In the most recent Annual Threat Assessment, DNI Dennis Blair put cyber security at the top of the list of security issues the U.S. is likely to face. The United States confronts a dangerous combination of known and unknown vulnerabilities, strong and rapidly expanding adversary capabilities, and a lack of comprehensive threat awarenessSensitive information is stolen daily from both government and private sector networks, undermining confidence in our information systems, and in the very information these systems were intended to convey. It is not only the U.S. government that fears attack. U.S. companies are keenly aware of the threat it poses to their businesses. Google has publically condemned the Chinese for alleged attacks on its system along with other U.S. firms. Cyber security is a true 21st Century challenge. It crosses all traditional barriers; a transnational threat affecting governments, the private sector, and individuals and can be easily perpetrated by state and non-state actors. Scenario: The specific scenario that you will react to will be posted on blackboard at 8pm on Tuesday, April 6 at 20:00 In addition to the specifics of the scenario, you should keep in mind the following: The role of the private sector and their stake in reducing cyber attacks The implications for U.S. policy on acts of terrorism and terrorist groups U.S. domestic politics and privacy issues The global nature of cyber security threats The pre-existing policy on Internet Freedom outlined by the Secretary of State

Meetings have and will take place on cyber security. The UN Security Council will convene a special meeting to address the issue. Role Play Agenda: The Cyber Security Simulation will take place over a two-week period, both in and out of class. The simulation schedule will be as follows:

April 6 April 6-8

20:00 Scenario is posted to Blackboard Public statements in reaction to the scenario are made (you may choose not to make a statement) Policy formulation and initial negotiations 17:00 One page policy/strategy memo due Carry out your strategy and advance your agenda; prep for in person meetings (in class) 16:15 16:50 17:25 17:45 Principle Committee Meeting UN Security Council Meeting Break Briefing to the President

During the negotiation period you may use any tools that would be commonly used by the person whose role you are playing, including: ! Statements to the press ! Fact sheets ! Bilateral meetings ! Classified memos ! Lobbying All pubic statements should be posted to the Discussion Board on Blackboard entitles Cyber Security Simulation. You may conduct negotiations via email or in person, by telephone, or any other means of communication. On all email correspondence, please cc dfakdf;lkasjdf;lkajsdf;kajf

If you negotiate offline, please send an email to your counterpart briefly detailing the outcome of your conversations and cc dfakdf;lkasjdf;lkajsdf;kajf. Additionally, please sign all email with your name and your role. Example Email:
Dear Mr. Smith (National Security Advisor), Below are the notes from our conversation over lunch today. -The US and the UK stand together on the importance of cyber security. -We agree on X, Y, and Z -We have differences on point A and B The next steps we discussed were: -I will speak with the Minister of Defense -You will have a meeting with the Secretaries of State and Defense. Cheers, Jane Doe UK Ambassador to the UN)

Objective: At the conclusion of the Cyber Security Role Play, the goal is to provide Senator Hagel a Cyber Security strategy and to update him on significant developments of the day. What are the options on the table for dealing with cyber security threats and future attacks? What is the recommendation for immediate actions? What is the recommendation for a longer-term policy?
