De Gruyter Handbook of Cyber Conflict and Warfare

652 Seiten, Hardcover

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

For many years, researchers, analysts, opinion leaders and pundits had debated whether actions in and through cyberspace would constitute war and whether the use of cyber technologies in warfare was inevitable. Now, in the 2020s, it has become clear that cyber activities play a role in strategic conflicts around the world and have the potential to become increasingly prominent as new technologies are developed. The handbook addresses the key ways in which cyber is impacting conflict and warfare, exploring topics and debates that speak to salient issues for security affairs and will potentially shape the context in which cyber is used in future conflicts. Although many books have addressed several aspects of cybersecurity and cyber conflict in the past, this volume provides greater attention to the conflict and warfare aspects of the subject, and it does so using the multifaceted perspectives of an array of scholars and experts from around the world, exploring the interdisciplinarity of the topic, and highlighting current and future debates, as well as avenues for future research. The handbook is a must-have resource for anyone interested in cyber conflict, cyber security, and the future of warfare.
