Vor dem Hintergrund der Tatsache, dass Information Warfare in den letzten Jahren, vor allem durch das Internet, zu einem globalen Problem von sicherheitspolitischer Bedeutung geworden ist, behandelt der Beitrag verschiedene Möglichkeiten und Methoden von Information Warfare, angefangen von Computerviren über Spionagetechniken bis hin zum Einsatz von Computer-Mäusen oder Computer-Küchenschaben. Thematisiert werden auch die diversen Internet-Aktivitäten terroristischer Vereinigungen und die Frage, inwiefern Information Warfare, d.h. ein Krieg mit elektronischen Mitteln, nach dem heutigen Kriegsrecht überhaupt als Krieg zu werten ist. Darüber gibt es gegenwärtig zwar eine internationale Debatte, aber keine einheitliche Auffassung. Ausgehend von der in vielen Staaten unterschätzten, jedoch realen Gefahr von Information Warfare wird im weiteren Verlauf ein Überblick über die bisher in der Vergangenheit stattgefundenen Angriffe auf Computersysteme und elektronische Spionageversuche auf internationaler Ebene gegeben. Abschließende Überlegungen befassen sich mit Möglichkeiten, wie man sich gegen Gefahren und Viren aus dem Internet schützen kann. (ICH)

Depuis quelques années, une nouvelle notion est appame dans le
vocabulaire des personnes s'intéressant aux affaires militaires et de
sécurité internationale: la guerre des systèmes d'information ou, en
anglais, Information Warfare. Cette méthode de
guerre permet à un belligérant d'affecter et de perturber les programmes
informatiques de l'adversaire, par exemple en modifiant les données qui
devraient guider un missile dit «intelligent» vers son objectif. L'auteur en
examine différents aspects, notamment sous l'angle du droit international
humanitaire en vigueur. Il conclue que la récente décision des Nations Unies
de s'intéresser à ce sujet est fondée et nécessaire.

This paper examines the fundamental concepts needed to understand the broad spectrum of activities encompassed by the information warfare phenomenon. It provides a theoretical background to these activities, and examines the social context in which these are most effective.

This paper examines the ethics of the practice of information warfare at both the national and corporate levels. Initially examining the present and past actions of individual hackers, it moves to the more organised, future military and economic warfare scenarios. It examines the lack of legal or policy initiatives in this area.

The article surveys the history of economic warfare from the Seven Years' War to the present. Three different aspects of economic warfare are studied: international law, effectiveness, and strategies. From the seventeenth century until World War I economic warfare scholarship was dominated by the perspective of international law. But as belligerents ignored jurists' rules of acceptable conduct in economic warfare, the international law approach receded into irrelevance. Practitioners and analysts alike have differed over the effectiveness of economic warfare. Its lack of success against Germany in World War II was a severe blow to the prestige of the blockade weapon. Economic warfare protagonists had underestimated the capability of a determined power elite, controlling the army, to retain power despite economic hardship. In general, economic warfare seems able to do little more than shorten conflicts. Strategies of economic warfare have two dimensions: the institution of blockades and other measures `at large', and the question of according to which principles one should draw up lists of prohibited items. Developments on the first dimension have gone full circle, from Napoleon's Continental self-blockade prohibiting imports from the United Kingdom while promoting exports, to the CoCom embargo of the USA and its allies restricting exports to the Warsaw Pact countries without attempting to prevent imports. On the second dimension, lists of contraband swelled until by World War II they became all-encompassing. In modern wars every good can have relevance to the war effort. Economists have even pointed out that the most strategic item is not the one having the greatest military use but the one relatively most expensive for the adversary to produce domestically and therefore bringing the greatest gains from trade.
