Cybersecurity and Cyber Defence: From Hacking to Information Warfare
The cyber world has undoubtedly become a part of geopolitics, in the way that it shapes, in its own way, relationships between the actors of the international stage.
The special report in this issue of Politique étrangère reiterates this. But at the same time as shaping these relationships, it subverts them, opening new areas of activity up to multiple actors. In attempting to control this new strategic space, we must investigate the wide variety of cyber practices that have the potential to jeopardize our security, along with the actors that may make use of these practices—states, businesses, criminal groups, individuals, and so on—, the solutions that can be adopted, and potential international regulations. There is one main goal here: safeguarding our individual freedoms and our economic and political sovereignties.
As well as this new cyber field, in this issue Politique étrangère takes a look at some of the current logics behind recompositions of power. Are the countries of central Europe now trying to define a specific, shared place for themselves, in the European Union? In Washington, do the appointments of Mike Pompeo and John Bolton signal a “brutalist” change to Trumpian diplomacy?
And then there is India, too often shunted to the wings of our geopolitical stage. Will its demographic weight, dynamic economy, and diplomatic choices guarantee it significant influence in the near future? Or will its internal problems and disputes with its neighbors permanently prevent its rise to power?
