Produktbeschreibung
"The idea of "cyber war" has played a dominant role both in academic and popular discourses concerning the nature of statecraft and conflict in the cyber domain. However, this lens of war and its expectations for death and destruction may distort rather than help clarify the nature of cyber competition.
