Protecting a Free and Open Internet through Cyber Diplomacy: Conceptual and Practical Challenges

在2022财年，我得以在欧洲与参与双边网络对话以及全球网络规范讨论的政府官员进行了一系列采访。我能够收集和分析更多关于这些话语的官方材料，以更好地理解这些辩论和对话的挑战和成就。我还进一步发展了理论框架，以加强我对网络外交文献的贡献，以及网络安全对日本和欧盟国家安全的影响。我还扩大了我的研究范围，包括人工智能等其他新兴技术对民主政治制度和削弱国家安全的日益增长的影响。我发表了一篇期刊文章和一本书的章节。我还参加了在爱沙尼亚塔林举行的CYDIPLO研讨会，并应邀在荷兰莱顿大学作了两次客座演讲，在伊斯兰法院联盟的一次会议上发表了一篇论文，并在美国太平洋国际论坛的一次研讨会上担任主讲人。

In AY2022, I was able to conduct a series of interviews in Europe with government officials involved in bilateral cyber dialogues as well as in global discourses about cyber norms. I was able to collect and analyze more official material on these discourses to better understand the challenges and achievements of these debates and dialogues. I also further developed the theoretical framework to strengthen my contribution to the literature on cyber diplomacy and the impact of cybersecurity to undermine national security in Japan and in the EU. I also broadened my research to include the growing influence of other emerging technologies like artificial intelligence on democratic political systems and in weakening national security. I published a journal article and one book chapter. I also participated in a CYDIPLO workshop in Tallinn, Estonia, and was invited to give two guest lectures at Leiden University, Netherlands, presented a paper at a conference at ICU, and was a panelist at a seminar of the Pacific Forum International, USA.
