Short Description: Dominance in informational power, thus, has emerged as a strategic arena for great power competition and conflict between the United States, Russia and China. This conference examines this topic with a cross-disciplinary, multi-method approach.
Digital globalization, the rise of grey zone conflict and hybrid warfare, computational propaganda and the strategic use of influence campaigns have all increased the salience of the informational power employed by state actors to pursue their national security goals. Dominance in informational power, thus, has emerged as a strategic arena for great power competition and conflict between the United States, Russia and China. This conference examines this topic with a cross-disciplinary, multi-method approach. We bring together a diverse group of scholars from the fields of history, communication, political science and computational science to discuss how Russia, China and the United States exert their informational power and the significance for national and international security.
