This literature review provides an analysis of the political science research landscape’s approach to power in cyberspace to date. Previous conceptualizations are compared and combined into an integrative model that differentiates mainly between power resources and power functions. To make these empirically visible, the proxy-concept is first discussed in terms of its theoretical implications and then used as an analytical reference category for discussing specific debates about power in cyberspace.
In this research paper, Mika Kerttunen argues that while cyber operations may be relatively ineffective for conducting war, their peacetime employment can contribute to the outbreak of conflict due to their violent nature.
In this report, Sebastian Harnisch and Kerstin Zettl-Schabath present the HD-CY.CON cyberconflict dataset and shed light on autocratic and democratic use of proxies in cyberspace.
One year after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Matthias Schulze and Mika Kerttunen put certain assumptions about the utility of cyber operations during wartime to the test.
