On behalf of the Spanish Pugwash, CICA International Fundation, Spanish Academy of Military Arts and Sciences and Nebrija University, it is our great pleasure to announce and invite you to participate to the LXVI CICA International Conference on Conflicts, with the theme
“Security & Defence in Postmodernity. A review of Challenges and Problems”, taking place in Madrid, Spain (May 4-5, 2023)
CICA conferences provide an interdisciplinary forum for world-class scientists, diplomats, militia, policy makers and people from many other fields to discuss and exchange ideas on the hottest topics and progress on the field of security and defense and, more broadly, conflict and aggression.
Postmodernity is proving to be a most complex historical period, in which issues affecting conflict, security and defense take on prominent importance. These are uncertain times and new forms of action, with critical geostrategic matches pending to be resolved in the short term. This second decade of the 21st century has begun with enormous challenges for the security and defense of the entire world, such as the consolidation of human rights or migration, besides the nuclear issues and the omnipresence of SARS-CoV2.
Under this broad title, our LXVI CICA intends to confront these critical systemic weaknesses, highlighting, among other approaches, ethical issues and the urgency of peace, in the belief that they are the only link for the stability and well-being of all nations.
Consequently, we suggest the analysis of the following main topics, related to the Postmodernity challenges at Conflict, Security & Defence:
- Geopolitics: the situation in Europe, the NATO expansion and the European Defence.
- Technology: including Cyberspace, Cybersecurity and Cyberdefense related topics.
- Rule of Law: including International War Law, Human Rights and Minority Rights related topics.
- New forms of conflict: populism, fake news and cognitive field.
- Military expansion, Nuclear issues, Space Militarization and arms control
- and, following the tradition since the beginning of the CICAs, any topic related to Conflict and Aggression.
