Did you know there was a National Cryptologic Museum, Maryland, USA? The National Cryptologic Museum is NSA’s gateway to the public and educates visitors about the role of cryptology in shaping history. The NCM collects, preserves, and showcases unique cryptologic artifacts and shares the stories of the people, technology, and methods that have defined cryptologic history. https://lnkd.in/eF7Mjwve

Our research arm, the Global Network on Extremism & Technology (GNET), published a new report written by the team Accelerationism Research Consortium (ARC). "Behind the Skull Mask" is an introductory guide to militant accelerationism and its manifestations. Militant #accelerationism is defined as a set of tactics and strategies designed to put pressure on and exacerbate latent social divisions. Often through violence, the goal of its proponents is to hasten a societal collapse, which they believe is already underway. The continued proliferation of these ideas on various online #platforms, as well as their role in inspiring multiple far-right terrorist attacks, make this an increasingly urgent issue for analysts, policymakers, and #technology companies alike.

EU’s first-ever European Defence Industrial Strategy released on 4/3/24, is interesting but foresees only EUR 1.5 bn until 2027. As this amount is far too small for meeting the Stategy’s ambitious targets, the EU relies on the use of Russian frozen assets and the European Investment Bank (EIB) as sources for additional financing. My article in this Special Issue, entitled “Dual Use Space Assets Through Dual Nature Funding: Will the European Investment Bank Propel EU Space Activity?”, examines the bank's track record in the area of space and defence, in order to gain insights of what can be expected. I thank dr sarah lieberman all contributing authors and editors at European Review of International Studies for putting this timely Special Issue together.  #EU #EUspace #Space #EUdefence #EUsecurity #EUstrategicautonomy #EIB #spacefinancing #defencefinancing #Europeandefenceindustrialstrategy

[📣 📕 🚀 Publication] We are happy to report that latest special issue of the European Review of International Studies is available: Volume 10, Issue 3 (December 2023) : "The Multifarious Roles Played by State Actors in Space" edited by dr sarah lieberman and Nicolas PETER This special issue provide us with an overview of the role of the state in outer space, not in terms of military space power, but in terms of policy making. Each article delves the impact that space has on states, and the impact that states – independent nation states – can have on outer space policy and space law. This selection of papers demonstrates that international law is necessary in the realm of outer space exploration and activity. Humankind must share outer space, and internationally agreed statements of intent and rules for behaviour are thus necessary. However, given the anarchic nature of the international stage, it is also clear that the state must play a firm role. The UN Office for Outer Space Affairs provides guidelines and international treaties on which states must base their outer space behaviour, but it is only through state level mechanisms that regulation or legislation can be implemented, monitored, and brought into being. https://lnkd.in/esXbVS2q With the contributions from dr sarah lieberman, Nicolas PETER, Dr Laura Cashman, Helen Kavvadia, Bruno R., João Marques de Azevedo, João Marques de Azevedo and João Nuno Frazão #SpaceDiplomacy #InternationalSpaceStation #ForeignPolicy #PolicyMaking #SpaceEconomy #OuterSpacePolicy #SpaceDebris #EUSpaceActivity #EuropeanInvestmentBank #TransatlanticCooperation #SpaceTrafficManagement #SpaceCommercialization #EUSecurityDefense #EuropeanSpacePolicy #SpaceLaw #MoonAgreement #SpaceLaw #PortugueseSpaceStrategy Sciences Po - CERI Canterbury Christ Church University De Gruyter Brill Lequesne Christian Tom Sharkey
