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 - for example, 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. 606 $aPOLITICAL SCIENCE / International Relations / General$2bisacsh 608 $aInformational works$2fast 608 $aInformational works.$2lcgft 608 $aDocuments d'information.$2rvmgf 615 7$aPOLITICAL SCIENCE / International Relations / General. 676 $a303.4834 702 $aAnstis$b Siena, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aBarnett$b Sophie, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aBuchanan$b Ben, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aBurton$b Joe, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aChan$b Sharly, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aChesney$b Robert, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aChesney$b Robert, $4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aCunningham$b Fiona S., $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aDeibert$b Ron, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aFidler$b Mailyn, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aGoldman$b Emily O., $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aHealey$b Jason, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aJervis$b Robert, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aKerr$b Jaclyn A., $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aLeonard$b Niamh, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aMumford$b Densua, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aRaymond$b Mark A., $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aShires$b James, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aSlayton$b Rebecca, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aSmeets$b Max, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aStevens$b Tim, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910745599403321 996 $aCyberspace and Instability$93083021 997 $aUNINA
