"The Information Age of the twenty-first century is distinguished by the proliferation of networks of power that transmit information in a variety of forms and have the effect of defining and decentralizing power relationships. The instantaneous transmission of information through vast geographic space has made possible our current global economic system, as well as the operations of modern governments, militaries, and social organizations. Their capabilities hinge on the accessibility of cyberspace to all participants. To be absent from these networks of information is to be absent from power."--Provided by publisher

To what extent do cyberspace operations increase the risks of escalation between nation-state rivals? Scholars and practitioners have been concerned about cyber escalation for decades, but the question remains hotly debated. The issue is increasingly important for international politics as more states develop and employ offensive cyber capabilities, and as the international system is increasingly characterized by emergent multipolarity. In Escalation Dynamics in Cyberspace, Erica D. Lonergan and Shawn W. Lonergan tackle this question head-on, presenting a comprehensive theory that explains the conditions under which cyber operations may lead to escalation. In doing so, they challenge long-held assumptions about strategic interactions in cyberspace, arguing that cyberspace is not as dangerous as the conventional wisdom might suggest. In some cases, cyber operations could even facilitate the de-escalation of international crises. To support their claims, Lonergan and Lonergan test their theory against a range of in-depth case studies, including strategic interactions between the United States and key rivals; a series of case studies of the role of cyber operations in international crises; and plausible future scenarios involving cyber operations during conflict. They then apply their analytical insights to policymaking, making the case that skepticism is warranted about the overall efficacy of employing cyber power for strategic ends. By exploring the role of cyber operations in routine competition, crises, and warfighting, Escalation Dynamics in Cyberspace presents nuanced insights about how cyberspace affects international politics.

"This book examines the future trend toward 'intelligent' warfare considering the global environment, the history of warfare and scientific and technological advancement. It develops a comprehensive set of theoretical frameworks, application concepts, and evaluation criteria for military intelligence. The volume is packed with theoretical highlights and vivid examples, including the tracking of Osama bin Laden, the decapitation strike against Qasem Soleimani, the remote assassination of Iranian nuclear scientists, the drone war in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, modern equipment deployed in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, and the war between social media groups. In addition, the author envisions a possible future for 'intelligent' war in which adversarial parties engage in combat through virtual and unmanned systems. This nature may help avoid the brutality and high death toll associated with traditional warfare. The book explores the possibility of future civilized wars. It will be of interest to researchers, academics, and students in the fields of Politics, Military Intelligence, Military Technology, and those who are interested in intelligent warfare in general"--

"This unique volume is the first book to provide both the theory and practical examples that practitioners, researchers, educators, and students need to successfully build, play, and learn from cyber wargames. Cyber wargaming is a powerful approach for solving interactive, complex problems that involve cyberspace in a variety of settings. Wargames teach us about human decisionmaking and the consequences of those decisions, particularly in the face of uncertainty. The contributors to this book are a diverse group of experts who explain what cyber wargames are, how they work, and why they offer insight into real world problems that other methods cannot match. As this book shows, the lessons learned through cyber wargaming are not merely artifacts of these games-they shed light on how people interpret, act upon, and experience cyberspace in real life. The examples in this book cover topics such as cyber action during kinetic war, information effects on potential conflict between the United States and China, individual versus group decision making, the intersection of cyber conflict and nuclear crisis, professional military education, business resilience, emerging technologies, and more"--
