This paper examines international relations (IR) in light of the information revolution and developments in knowledge sharing and educational instruction. It argues for a greater appreciation of the way in which knowledge and learning are shaping the security agenda and the course of international affairs. The authors urge the IR and security community to make greater use of open learning environments and open source methodologies as a means of knowledge creation, acquisition and delivery. Finally, the paper advocates the teaching and cultivation of new skills for individuals working in international affairs.
