Is cyber warfare a relevant part of the political agenda of international relations?
With the growing importance of cyberspace and spurt in frequency of cyber-attacks it is gaining strategic value and is increasingly finding greater attention in various policies and planning of governments’ world over. With over two billion people using the internet and a 480% growth in the number since the year 2000 it is now relevant to relook at the previous assumptions and predictions made by academicians and experts and analyse how far have their studies been validated.
Moreover, due to the unique features that differentiate cyberspace and cyber-war from conventional political space and kinetic war, it will be useful to try and predict the future implications they will have on world politics.
This is a slideshow about China and its Communist Party. I used this slideshow when I had my Demo Teaching for World History and Civilization 2. I hope this will be helpful for you!
Pakistan – the problems and solutions regarding terrorism and 4thGWZaid Hamid
4th Generation War is the latest weapon being deployed against the Muslim world to dismember Muslim countries in the greater middle east. This mode of War fare is least understood by the policy makers, leaders, and the media. Here BrassTacks brings a comprehensive presentation for the policy makers on this illusive subject.
The article “China’s public diplomacy and communication strategy in the US: lessons for Pakistan” was written by Bilal Zubair and Nazir Hussain in December 2020. The article highlights the importance of public diplomacy in the era of modern communication in order to create and maintain the dominance over others.
Communication is seen as an important component of public diplomacy to know how governments interact with foreign publics. As an emerging power, China has been actively expanding its presence in the global communication landscape through public diplomacy. Western media consider it a threat in global leadership for the sole super power The United States. China's rise as an emerging power has disturbed the power distribution in the international system. The article also highlights that how public diplomacy and external communication have been a neglected area of research in Pakistan.
Deng Xiaoping Reforms: Changes and ChallengesJonathon Flegg
A presentation that attempts to understand how Deng Xiaoping achieved his ambitious policy agenda during the early reform period (1978-84). While Mao passed away in 1976, this presentation examines how Deng still had to work within his institutional and political legacy. The presentation pays close consideration to the "balance of power" between Deng and Chen Yun in the Politburo Standing Committee over the period.
The Arab Spring is a revolutionary wave of demonstrations and protests (both non-violent and violent), riots, and civil wars in the Arab world that began on 18 December 2010 and spread throughout the countries of the Arab League and surroundings.

Punching Nazis: History, Tactics & Philosophy of AntifascismKit O'Connell
Slides from "Punching Nazis," presented at the Houston Anarchist Bookfair 2017.
This class looks at the origins of “antifaschistische aktion” in Germany, follows its spread to the United States, and gives a brief overview of major fascist and antifascist events in Texas since the election, including some in Texas you may not have heard about. We also talk about the numerous ways you can be an antifascist, from getting racists fired at work to dressing up as clowns to yes, punching them in face. Rather than debating the morality of committing violence in self defense against genocidal murderers, this workshop aims to create a space to discuss the full scope of possible responses to the threat of white supremacy and nationalism.
DRAFT - History of U.S. Public Diplomacy efforts, with discussion of soft power, the Cold War, Fulbright and other exchange programs, etc, with some recent examples taken from USG programs in Ukraine. NOTE: This is basically just a revision to an earlier PowerPoint uploaded on this site.

The international community has strongly condemned the terrorist attacks.

In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.

"Control of the Chinese community is the

a 'painstaking effort' over the past decades,
and has a certain scale. It is a pyramid-like
structure and system. They manipulate
Chinese people in the name of 'unite
overseas Chinese.' "
- Chen Yonglin
● Used Chinese students as special agents
● Control overseas Chinese media, provide
financial support using advertisements from
Chinese companies

“They said, ‘We have special people there.
All you have to do is give the information to
them.’”

11. Silencing Unwanted Voices
“They said they can make me disappear ...
It’s very common knowledge. If you speak
about the Chinese Communist Party, even
among co-workers, they’ll tell you to watch
what you say.”
- Judy Chen, 55, Taiwanese immigrant living
in Flushing, Queens
“All the Chinese people know it.”
(Paraphrasing) On the local level, the
Chinese regime often uses its influence
over Chinese community organizations and
student groups to carry out its work.
- Tang Baiqiao, founder of Democracy
Academy of China

“Once that organization, the Fukien
American Association, became one of the
leading [China]-supported organizations,
they became the host of almost all these
Chinese officials who are visiting New York.”
- Ko-lin Chin, Professor, Rutgers School of
Criminal Justice, interview with Epoch Times
“The Fuk Ching, for example, are affiliated
with the Fukien American Association ...
They allow the gang to operate on their (the
tong’s) territory, thus legitimizing them with
the community.”

Fuk Ching,” by James O. Finckenauer, Ph.D.,

government mobs to try to attack you
so the government will not have to
assume responsibility.”
- Albert Ho, pro-democracy lawmaker
● Attacks on pro-democracy protesters
● Triads involved

situation and development of Chinese Student
Association in Canadian Universities”, study in
Canada blog (Accessed July 19, 2007)

or have an active liaison via the
consulate back to the CCP.”

ideological purposes

networks inside Australia's leading
universities, prompting Australia to

capabilities.”
● CCP building covert spy networks

● Censoring information unfavorable
to the Chinese Communist Party
21. Key Takeaways

part of China. This includes 2nd
and 3rd
generation immigrants
● Active intimidation in Chinese communities, which creates
perception Chinese communities of being monitored and at risk
– don't feel protection of US government
● Use of controlled overseas groups for political or ideological
mobilization – protests appear spontaneous, but being
orchestrated
● Efforts to influence US politics
