DA3110 Sovereignty, Resilience and Resistance

This course will examine the theories and research of the use of resilience and resistance by nations to defend territorial, cultural, and information sovereignty and deter aggressive states from invasion. This course will examine the three phases of conflict; pre-crisis, onset of crisis, and the loss of sovereignty, and study the implications of resilience and resistance on local communities as well as their aggressors. Throughout the course, we will dissect the role, responsibilities, and authorities of special operations tasked to support these activities.
