Fending off cyber warfare
Article Abstract:
The International School on Disarmament and Research on Conflicts along with the Institute of Physics in Trento, Italy, backed the 'Computers, Networks and the Prospects for European and World Security' summer school held during 1999, in Rovereto, northern Italy. The course lasted for 10 days and it was attended by 80 students from a wide range of countries. Representatives of different counties expressed their fears about the new technology. Some feared the Internet may pose a threat to traditional culture whilst others were more concerned over their lack of access to the Internet.

Seminars have addressed issues including the financial difficulties suffered by provincial universities in Russia and the repercussions of information technology for universities in the region. It is clear that advisers from the West have not always had a positive impact on higher education institutions in Eastern and Central Europe. These institutions should be assisted, rather than patronized.
