Dependence on allies, technology and critical infrastructure, as well as information and economic threats, demographic changes and competition amongst the great powers, require the ability to act strategically, swiftly and creatively.<\/p>\n<p>Small states operate in a world where the rules are often dictated by the great powers. They have fewer material and human resources and are more dependent on alliances, international institutions, trade, technology and infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>However, a small state does not necessarily mean a weak state. The ability to build coalitions, specialise, rapidly adopt innovations, harness technology and build societal resilience can provide small states with strategic advantages. The programme will therefore examine not only the vulnerability of states, but also their ability to adapt, act and build security in a constantly changing international environment.<\/p>\n<p>The programme is taught in English and is designed for those wishing to understand the contemporary security environment and analyse how small states can not only respond to threats but also actively shape their own security, defence and resilience strategies.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","informacijos_blokeliai":false},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.4 -
