Great Power Competition and Cyber Security

Cybersecurity has become one of the most important concepts in the analysis of international relations in the context of international security. At the beginning of the fourth great era of globalisation, which dawns with the start of the third decade of this century, the major world powers are becoming increasingly competitive in the field of cybersecurity. In this paper, the authors explain the concept of cyber security, the theoretical and practical implications of cyber security for international relations in the 21st century, and the importance of cyber security for international security.
