Hello there! As November comes to a close, we are pleased to bring you our latest newsletter focused on the theme of "Cyber, Security, and Defence." In this edition, we explore the increasingly complex and interconnected world of cyber threats, security challenges, and their implications for national and international defence strategies.
A special thanks to Rupak Rattanmoj Pathak for taking the lead on this month's newsletter. The finished result provides an accessible and digestible introduction to an increasingly important field and issue area.
Below, you can explore reflections on the growing importance of cyber defence, emerging risks, and how strategies must adapt to meet new challenges. In this edition, we also share key resources that will be valuable for your research and practice, which we hope will introduce you to, or refresh your understanding of, how cyber security has become a foregrounded issue in contemporary politics and research.
You will also find a report on the recent Knowledge Exchange workshop we - the DRN - co-hosted with the British International Studies Association Critical Military Studies Working Group at the National Army Museum. It was hugely successful and the attached infographic neatly captures the conversations exploring the intersection between the MOD, academia, and policy in a cross-disciplinary collaboration.
Our community section is filled with exciting updates, highlighting recent developments, research, and activities within the field. Be sure to check out the events and opportunities section, where you'll find upcoming conferences and studies to participate in—excellent opportunities to learn, share, and connect with fellow researchers in the defence field.
Thank you all for your contributions. Your insights are vital to the success of our network, and we welcome ideas or submissions for future themes.
Happy reading!
