What is the role of state and non-state actors in internet security decision-making and governance?

互联网安全在国家冲突、国家对抗和战争活动中的重要性日益上升，很容易将网络犯罪和网络间谍活动推到安全困境的前沿。安全困境，即各国必须加强自己的安全，导致它们采取不可避免地降低其他国家安全的行动，在网络空间舞台上表现了10倍。对于网络空间给国家安全领域带来的机会和威胁，人们同样怀着恐惧和敬畏的态度对待网络空间的重要性。与传统的国际关系理论一样，随着国家对抗的加剧，网络安全困境的产生不会导致更多的安全，而是会导致更少的安全。以网络空间事实上的多利益攸关方治理模式体系的形式引入的新颖的网络安全困境加剧了这种日益加剧的对立。与涉及国家安全困境的大多数其他领域不同，非国家行为者参与网络空间和互联网安全的概念化、发展、运行和监管是常态，而不是例外。我的博士研究最终将在极其复杂的互联网安全格局中导航，最终论证非国家行为者的实际参与将我们带入当前关于互联网安全治理监管的巨大悬崖。为此，博士项目将专注于以下研究领域：a)非国家行为者在互联网安全治理中的作用，b)决策论坛的政治化，c)个人作为其组织立场的旗手在参与决策论坛时的作用，d)意识形态在互联网安全治理中的作用，以及e)当涉及到他们的利益时，国家无法达成共识。

Internet security's increasing importance in state conflict, state antagonism and war activities, has easily catapulted cybercrime and cyberespionage at the forefront of the security dilemma. The security dilemma, i.e. the necessity of the states to increase their security, leading them to take actions that inevitably decrease the security of other states has manifested tenfold in the cyberspace arena. The significance of cyberspace is approached with equal amounts of trepidation and reverence for the opportunities and threats it presents to the domain of state security. As in traditional international relations theory, the creation of cyber security dilemmas does not lead to more security, but to less security, as state antagonism increases. This increased antagonism is compounded by the novelty cyber security dilemmas introduce in the form of cyberspace's de facto multi-stakeholder governance model system. In contrast to most other fields that pertain to state security dilemmas', the involvement and the cruciality of non-state actors for the conceptualization, development, running and regulation of cyberspace and internet security is the norm rather than the exception. My doctoral research will ultimately argue navigate the tersely complex internet security landscape ultimately arguing that the de-facto involvement of non-state actors brings us to a monumental precipice in the present historical moment in regards to the regulation of internet security governance.To this end, the doctoral project will focus on the following areas of research: a) the role of non-state actors on internet security governance, b) the politicization of decision-making fora, c) the role of the individual as a standard-bearer for his organizations positions, when participating in decision-making fora, d) the role of ideology in internet security governance, and e) state's inability to reach a consensus, when their interests are involved.
