Enablement besides Constraints: Human security and a Cyber Multi-disciplinary framework in the European High North (ECoHuCy)

该项目从人类安全的角度研究了欧洲高北部（EHN）的数字化和网络安全，指的是三个北欧国家的北方地区：芬兰，瑞典和挪威。总体研究任务包括个性化和解释网络安全，当涉及到减轻威胁，但也赋予个人和社区在EHN科普新的，ICT相关的社会政治法律的，文化，经济和环境的挑战。完成这项任务的方法是，询问围绕着网络安全的多种概念以及在此基础上建立的做法的众多论述;调查流行的技术和国家安全概念的替代方案，特别是将网络安全纳入人类安全议程;承认数字化和网络安全在北欧国家的不同地区和不同社区之间有不同的影响;从EHN的公民和社区的角度审视数字化和网络安全，目的是让他们的偏好和恐惧得到倾听;从人类安全的角度重新定义网络安全，以便将安全的有利和限制方面都包括在定义中;将网络安全的指涉对象转向人，将EHN中的公民和社区视为网络安全的客体和主体。该项目提供的多学科框架有助于理论和经验知识的形成。将EHN作为地理点是否可以进行全国比较以及不同主题实体之间的比较？例如，网络安全与实现人权、土著人民权利、社会平等和环境威胁有关。因此，该项目有两个主要目标：描绘EHN数字化中存在的积极（使能）和消极（威胁）潜力，并找到加强积极潜力的方法，同时稀释消极潜力，并突出社会数字化带来和加剧的社会分裂？包括进入网络空间和在网络空间自由行动的问题、所需技能、身份形成过程以及所需产品和服务的可得性？以促进解决全球法律和正义的现有问题。

The project examines digitisation and cyber security in the European High North (EHN) referring to the northern parts of three Nordic countries: Finland, Sweden and Norway from the human security perspective. The overall research task consists of individualizing and explaining cyber security when it comes to mitigating threats but also to empowering both individuals and communities in EHN to cope with new, ICT-related socio-politico-legal, cultural, economic and environmental challenges. This task is fulfilled by interrogating the numerous discourses revolving around the multiple conceptualisations of cyber security as well as the practices established on their basis; investigating alternatives to the prevailing technical and national security conceptualisations, in particular, the incorporation of cyber security in the human security agenda; acknowledging that digitisation and cyber security have varying implications in different parts of the Nordic countries and amongst different communities; examining digitisation and cyber security from the perspective of the citizens and communities in EHN with the aim of making their preferences and fears heard; re-defining cyber security from the human security perspective so that both enabling and constraining aspects of security are included in the definition; and by shifting the referent object of cyber security to the human being and treating the citizens and communities in EHN as both objects and subjects of cyber security. The multidisciplinary framework offered in the project contributes to both theoretical and empirical knowledge formation. Taking EHN as a geographic point makes it possible to do national comparisons alongside comparisons between different thematic entities ? cyber security as related to, for example, the realisation of human rights, rights of the indigenous people, societal equality, and environmental threats. Thus, the project has two main objectives: to depict both positive (enabling) and negative (threatening) potentials residing in the digitisation of EHN and to find ways to reinforce the positive potentials while diluting the negative ones, and to highlight the societal cleavages that digitisation of society brings forth and intensifies ? including question of access to and freedom of action in cyberspace, needed skills, processes of identity formation, and availability of desired products and services ? in order to contribute to solving the existing problem of global law and justice.
