Workshop: Information in Conflict - making sense and unavailability

Information is central for every conflict, not only for making sense and moral judgments, but also for accessing such perceptions. Present at both levels political actors are fighting either to push their own perceptions or thwart the accessibility to competing perceptions. To better understand these practices and the effects of information control, the Center for War Studies invites you to this workshop on the role of information in conflict. Here we invite three scholars to present ongoing work on the role of information in conflict, combining different methodological and theoretical approaches to do so.
