There is a growing consensus among experts that the widespread adoption of computer networks necessitates robust and comprehensive countermeasures, particularly among governments that are concerned about their potential impact on national and economic security. This book is the first to explore the sustainability of these future visions of cyber security within the communities that articulate them. By drawing on critical literature from international relations, security studies, political theory, and social theory, the book provides a comprehensive analysis of the foundations of cyber security politics. Specifically, it demonstrates that conceptions of time and temporality play a crucial role in shaping the politics of cyber security. The book explores how cyber security communities perceive the past, present, and future, ultimately influencing the development and implementation of cyber security policies and practices. By integrating a diverse range of conceptual and empirical resources, the book offers valuable insights for scholars, practitioners, and policymakers alike. It sheds light on the complex dynamics and interrelationships that underpin cyber security, and provides a framework for understanding how these visions of the future are sustained and transformed over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 412g                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 153 x 230 x 17 (mm)                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781107521599                                                      \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TimStevens","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44094998085882,"sku":"9781107521599","price":29.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/4c2b3dbc76f99c8c906f1ba820c30681.jpg?v=1630899284","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/cyber-security-and-the-politics-of-time","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
