Message from The Hague Program for Cyber Norms
We hope you are doing well, and that you and your family and friends are healthy and safe during these challenging times, when many of us are working and teaching remotely, in addition to home-schooling, caring for loved ones and various other commitments.
Here at The Hague Program for Cyber Norms, we have for now postponed most of our activities planned for the Spring semester. Our incoming Visiting Fellows will hopefully be able to reschedule and join us later this year in The Hague, but their lectures are postponed as are our other workshops, meetings and conferences.
As you can see from today's newsletter, we do hope we will be able to meet in person again in November for our third annual conference in The Hague. We look forward to discussing and debating - in keynotes, panels and during coffee breaks - responsible (state) behaviour in cyberspace, this time focusing on fragmentation, polarization and hybridity. Our Call for Papers is out as of today: we look forward to receiving your abstracts!
Stay safe and healthy,
The Hague Program for Cyber Norms team

Call for Papers | Moving Forward: Fragmentation, Polarization and Hybridity in Cyberspace
Fragmentation, polarization and hybridity are setting the scene for the debate about responsible state behavior in cyberspace. These developments are neither new, nor fully understood, but they are set to play an important role on how to move forward in the diplomatic processes on international security and cyberspace.
In 2020, we hope to take the conversation about cyber norms further by taking these three macro-level developments – fragmentation, polarization and hybridity – and linking them to the need to move forward in this debate, as the general theme for the third annual academic conference of The Hague Program for Cyber Norms.
The key to understanding the development of norms in cyberspace lies in bringing together various disciplines that relate to the theme in a broad sense. This call for papers is therefore open to extended abstracts from a wide range of academic disciplines. Accepted contributors are eligible for funding for travel and lodging.
The complete call for papers is available on our website. The call is open until 31 May 2020 and the conference itself is planned to take place on 10-11 November 2020 in The Hague. Read on...
