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

网络安全在国家冲突、国家对抗和战争活动中的重要性日益增加，很容易使网络犯罪和网络间谍成为安全困境的前沿。安全困境，即国家必须加强自身安全，导致其采取不可避免地损害其他国家安全的行动，在网络空间领域得到了十倍的体现。面对网络空间的重要性，人们对它给国家安全领域带来的机遇和威胁感到同样的恐惧和敬畏。与传统国际关系理论一样，网络安全困境的产生不会带来更多的安全，而是会带来更少的安全，因为国家间的对抗会加剧。网络空间事实上的多利益相关者治理模式体系带来了新的网络安全困境，加剧了这种对立。与大多数涉及国家安全困境的其他领域不同，非国家行为体对网络空间和互联网安全的概念化、发展、运行和监管的参与和重要性是常态，而不是例外。我的博士研究最终将论证在简洁复杂的互联网安全环境中导航，最终论证非国家行为体的实际参与在当前的历史时刻将我们带到了一个巨大的悬崖，在互联网安全治理的监管方面。为此，博士项目将重点研究以下领域：a)非国家行为体在互联网安全治理中的作用，b)决策论坛的政治化，c)个人在参与决策论坛时作为其组织立场的旗手的作用，d)意识形态在互联网安全治理中的作用，以及e)国家在涉及其利益时无法达成共识。

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.
