本文报道了最近的一项调查，旨在了解全球研究界对网络恐怖主义的理解。具体而言，它探讨了118名受访者在三个定义问题上的竞争观点及其重要性：(a)政策制定者或研究人员需要一个具体的网络恐怖主义定义；(b)这一概念的核心特征或组成部分；以及(c)将“网络恐怖主义”一词应用于一系列实际或潜在情景的价值。文章的结论是，尽管大多数研究人员认为，对于学术界和政策制定者来说，有必要对网络恐怖主义进行一个具体的定义，但围绕这个定义可能是什么样子的分歧，有可能刺激更广泛地重新思考恐怖主义。
This article reports on a recent survey designed to capture understandings of cyberterrorism across the global research community. Specifically, it explores competing views, and the importance thereof, amongst 118 respondents on three definitional issues: (a) the need for a specific definition of cyberterrorism for either policymakers or researchers; (b) the core characteristics or constituent parts of this concept; and (c) the value of applying the term “cyberterrorism” to a range of actual or potential scenarios. The article concludes by arguing that while a majority of researchers believe a specific definition of cyberterrorism is necessary for academics and policymakers, disagreement around what this might look like has additional potential to stimulate a rethinking of terrorism more widely.
