Militarization is no longer limited to politics; it is spreading through the media and public discourse. In today’s international crises, what counts is not just military strength, but the strategic use of information. This development affects both physical and digital realms and poses particular challenges for democratic societies. The conference explores the pivotal role of information in this process – drawing on the expertise of the two prominent scholars, Fabrizio Coticchia e Simone Tholens.
ℹ️ The event will be held in English without simultaneous translation.
