Cyberthreats and the Decline of the Nation-State

This book explores the nature of cyber-attacks to demonstrate how the traditional cyber threat-control systems used by nation-states are increasingly ineffective against transnational cyber threats, and how new ways of tackling these attacks can and are being developed. It considers how civilians, both individuals and corporations, could be integrated into a more decentralized, distributed system of cyber-threat control exploring the role such civilians could play in the maintenance of order online and the implications for sovereignty in the twenty first century.
