About

Join Dan Meridor, former Chairman of the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee of the Knesset, former Chairman of the committee which wrote the report on the Israel Defense Doctrine, and former Minister of Intelligence and Atomic Energy, for the second session of the study group on Israel's Defense in the Changing Middle East.

Minister Meridor will draw from his decades of service in the Israeli government to outline how power projection and surveillance capabilities in cyberspace affect contemporary conflict. How do nations and non-state actors employ these technologies, and what becomes of more conventional means of waging war in an era when code may be more powerful than tanks? These and other related questions will be the subject of this study group, sponsored by the Cyber Security Project at the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs.

Please note this study group is open to students only, with a preference given to those enrolled at Harvard Kennedy School. Registration is required via this form by Thursday, November 8 at 5pm.
