Risk Roundup Webcast: Cyber Politics

Cyber Politics

As cyberspace creates

new ways for connecting and integrating to aquaspace, geospace, and space, its
growing interaction within and across nations: its government, industries,
organizations, and academia are creating complex challenges for the old concepts
of sovereignty, stability, and security. Moreover, the democratization of
information access to knowledge, and one another further creates new security vulnerabilities.

While the impact of

cyberspace on politics was largely ignored until now, the events over the years
have begun to identify its effect on the very core of politics. Understandably,
it is becoming a cause of great concern for not only national security, but international
relations, our core institutions, and the critical decision processes.

Also, the anonymity of

cyberspace is already challenging political leverage, influence, national
security, diplomacy, governments, governance models, thereby fundamentally shifting
the foundations of international relations, security, and peace.

There is a growing concern that the politicization

of cyberspace technologies: current layers, as well as emerging, is on its way.
Besides, cyberspace also has influenced politics, political operations, and
influence.

In short, cyberspace has

become an integral component of our lives and our way of living. It is also getting
deeply involved in politics, as well. It is, therefore, essential to understand
and evaluate:

  • How is politics controlling
cyberspace? How is cyberspace influencing politics?
  • How is it shaping
  • politics? How widely is cyberspace used for political activity?
  • Is politics shaping
  • digital disorder or digital disorder shaping politics?
  • How does digital
  • technology change democratic politics?
  • Since information and
  • communication technologies (ICTs) are influencing not only the political
    processes but the way state-society interactions happen, how does it impact the
    politics and international relations? Does it change international relations?
  • Has cybersecurity
  • become a political issue? What is the nature of security vulnerabilities
    political parties across nations are facing?
  • Will all models of
  • governance get impacted by cyberspace? Will e-Democracy influence the other
    models of governance across nations?
  • Since cyberspace has
  • connected aquaspace, geospace, and space, how will cyberspace threaten the sovereignty
    of nations?

    Since the politicization of cyberspace is on its way, today, technology-triggered warfare is a more significant threat to the future of humanity. We need to explore ways to contain, control, and finally abolish all-out war for the survival of the human species. The question is whether we will be able to. The time is now to understand and evaluate Cyber Politics.
