Conflicts, Crimes and Regulations in Cyberspace

The study of cyberspace is relatively new within the field of social sciences, yet interest in the subject is significant. <i>Conflicts, Crimes and Regulations in Cyberspace</i> contributes to the scientific debate being brought to the fore by addressing international and methodological issues, through the use of case studies.<br /><br />This book presents cyberspace as a socio-technical system on an international level. It focuses on state and non-state actors, as well as the study of strategic concepts and norms. Unlike global studies, the socio-technical approach and “meso” scale facilitate the analysis of cyberspace in international relations. This is an area of both collaboration and conflict for which specific modes of regulation have appeared.
