  • More about Cyberspace and Instability


This book examines instability in cyberspace, assessing the risks of inadvertent escalation and the role of NATO in cyber conflict. It explores the infrastructural aspects of stability and the role of resilience, with case studies including US-China relations, the 2016 Presidential Elections, IoT devices, and the African Union. The meaning of stability in cyberspace is vague and contested, with policymakers and experts proposing measures that rely on divergent understandings of cyber stability.

Reconceptualises Instability in Relation to Cyberspace

Assesses the Risks of Inadvertent Escalation in Cyberspace

Examines the Role of NATO in Cyber Conflict

Explores the Infrastructural Aspects of Stability and the Role of Resilience

Case Studies Include US-China Relations, the 2016 Presidential Elections, IoT Devices, and the African Union

A wide range of actors have publicly identified cyber stability as a key policy goal, but the meaning of stability in the context of cyber policy remains vague and contested. Vague because most policymakers and experts do not define cyber stability when they use the concept. Contested because they propose measures that rely often implicitly on divergent understandings of cyber stability.

This volume is a thorough investigation of instability within cyberspace and of cyberspace itself. Its purpose is to reconceptualise stability and instability for cyberspace, highlight their various dimensions, and thereby identify relevant policy measures.

This book critically examines both classic notions associated with stability, such as whether cyber operations can lead to unwanted escalation, as well as topics that have so far not been addressed in the existing cyber literature, such as the application of a decolonial lens to investigate Euro-American conceptualisations of stability in cyberspace.
