Peace and the digital revolution: Toward “cyberpeace?”

Peace &Change, Volume 49, Issue 4, Page 393-399, October 2024.

Abstract

This article will explore challenges posed by the digital communications revolution to some long-standing concepts and assumptions around security, warfare, and peace. It will demonstrate the obsolescence of the traditional state-focused national security paradigm with regards to matters of cybersecurity, as well as the limitations of conventional collective security approaches. It will also outline the Internet's potential as a peacebuilding medium, and the crossroads we currently face between a new era of cyberwarfare or an Internet for “cyberpeace.”
