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

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

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.
