In an era of cyber confrontations, the U.S. faces extraordinary national security challenges. Our major global adversaries continue to engage in systematic and sophisticated assaults on our political and economic institutions. Richard Clarke’s book, Cyber War, will be our guide to the nature, scope, and responses to cyber threats. Our sessions for those 50 and over will be structured around U.S. cyber relations with Russia, China, Iran, and N. Korea, with a special emphasis on the historical context.

Instructor John Fogarasi brings a unique perspective to the topic of U.S. Foreign Policy and cyber war as a senior U.S. diplomat, having served for over three decades in Europe, Asia, and North America. Sessions will meet Mondays from 3:15-5:15 pm from November 11 through December 16 (no class on November 18).
