  2. Focusing on Basics – Three Questions • 1. International relations theories are anchored in 20 C. • experience. How portable are they for 21st C. realities? • If so how? • If not why not? • 2. Can we relate the “real” & cyber features of international • relation in intellectually defensible ways? • What are the “real” factors, • the cyber & the linkages? • 3. What do we know about cyber conflicts and cyber • cooperation to date? • Can we define types? • Can we identify cases?
