点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

The aim of this project is to conduct an exploration of the transition from cyber security to cyber power within the UK through a narratology of materials. Following the institution of GCHQ from 2009 to 2022, this project will attempt to conduct novel research investigating, through mixed methods, a transition of stance towards cyber power and explore the importance of this term, where it arose, where it is used, how it is being promoted and the strategy behind this change. Through an analytical lens of narratology and assemblage theory this project will explore how elite strategic practices take shape through a combination of strategy and materials and how relationships between key actors and conceptualisations of cyber and power affect this transitional process.
