"(.) besides all this speculative ultimate attempt of peeking into the future, and beyond any functionalist, metaphysical or pragmatist point of view, it's now visible for everyone that we are in an moment of enormous civilizational leap, that, much like the Hegelian process of self-consciousness, Cyberpolitics is the affirmation of that transitional stage. The impact of a paradigm shift is always fertile ground for the savagery of our imagination, and YouTube, in the erosion between private and public sphere, will certainly be a tremendous archive for academic research: conspiracy theories, political-science fictions like exopolitics, world government, the exploration of space and human colonies, other civilizations and the Kardashev scale, and the entire unknown and uncertainty we are entering. And there are no risks without courage, fear and hope. Let's hope we live up to the challenges we are facing, in the certainty that life can be understood backwards, but can only be lived forward. in "Foreword", by Constantino Pereira Martins. ; Martins, Constantino Pereira (ed.), Cyberpolitics, eQuodlibet 12, Coimbra: Instituto de Estudos Filosóficos, 2021. https://www.uc.pt/fluc/uidief/colecoes_eqvodlibet

Cyberspace is widely acknowledged as a fundamental fact of daily life in today's world. Until recently, its political impact was thought to be a matter of low politics--background conditions and routine processes and decisions. Now, however, experts have begun to recognize its effect on high politics--national security, core institutions, and critical decision processes. In this book, Nazli Choucri investigates the implications of this new cyberpolitical reality for international relations theory, policy, and practice. The ubiquity, fluidity, and anonymity of cyberspace have already challenged such concepts as leverage and influence, national security and diplomacy, and borders and boundaries in the traditionally state-centric arena of international relations. Choucri grapples with fundamental questions of how we can take explicit account of cyberspace in the analysis of world politics and how we can integrate the traditional international system with its cyber venues. After establishing the theoretical and empirical terrain, Choucri examines modes of cyber conflict and cyber cooperation in international relations; the potential for the gradual convergence of cyberspace and sustainability, in both substantive and policy terms; and the emergent synergy of cyberspace and international efforts toward sustainable development. Choucri's discussion is theoretically driven and empirically grounded, drawing on recent data and analyzing the dynamics of cyberpolitics at individual, state, international, and global levels.

An examination of the ways the construction of the Internet, with cyberspace as the core, are changing the theory, policy, and practice of international relations. ; Cyberspace is widely acknowledged as a fundamental fact of daily life in today's world.

This issue of the International Political Science Review is devoted to new challenges and opportunities-as well as attendant problems-created by new information and communication technologies and applications in political science, with special attention to implications for international relations. The challenges are shaped in large part by the convergence of three trends: globalization, world-wide electronic connectivity, and emergent practices in knowledge networking. Increasingly, this convergence is reinforcing the role of knowledge in the global economy and in power politics. While each of these trends, individually, is having an impact on social discourse and modes of interaction, jointly they may be shaping powerful new parameters of politics, both nationally and internationally. They may also affect our ways of generating and managing knowledge, creating new knowledge, and even framing or re-framing the core concepts in political science. Central among these concepts, of course, are power, politics, representation, accountability, conflict, contention, and a host of others. In the context of the broader social sciences, these trends are also transforming traditional know- ledge practices, creating new research modes, and accelerating "new knowledge."

Proceedings of the ECIR Workshop on "People, Power and CyberPolitics," December 7–8, 2011, MIT, Cambridge, MA. ; The People, Power, and CyberPolitics Conference is a joint project of MIT and Harvard University on Explorations in Cyber International Relations (ECIR). Co-sponsored by the Council on Foreign Relations, this workshop is the second in a series of sustained deliberations and explorations involving leading individuals in academia, government and business. The outcome of the workshop will be a new understanding of emergent dimensions of cyberpolitics with respect to (i) the evolving pressures on policy and theory, and (ii) the methods and techniques of exploring current conditions and understanding the contours of potential futures. ; This material is based upon work supported by the Office of Naval Research under Grant No. N00014-09-1-0597.

This paper explores the role that Twitter is taking in the e-policy of the region, based on recent studies and data. Twitter every day beats its own record with 200 million accounts worldwide and 140 million tweets per day, growing at a dizzying rate of 500 thousand new users per day. Is Twitter a good medium for political communication? Is it a useful tool for politicians? What about the citizens? The answer is only one, and emphatic yes. In any campaign should provide demonstrations of numerical strength. There is an important segment of the electorate based on the manifestations of power, and predictions of victory to finally make their voting decision. The article explores current uses, trends and contrasts with traditional media. ; Este ensayo explora el rol que viene asumiendo Twitter en la ciberpolítica de la región, con base en estudios y data recuiente. Twitter día a día bate sus propios records con 200 millones de cuentas en todo el mundo y 140 millones de tuits al día, crece a una vertiginosa tasa de 500 mil nuevos usuarios al día. ¿Es Twitter un buen medio para la comunicación política? ¿es un medio útil para los políticos? ¿y para los ciudadanos? La respuesta es sólo una, y enfática: sí. En cualquier campaña es conveniente ofrecer demostraciones de fuerza numérica. Hay un segmento importante en el electorado que se basa en las manifestaciones de poder, y en las predicciones de victoria para finalmente tomar su decisión de voto. El artículo explora usos actuales, tendencias y contrastes con los medios de comunicación tradicionales.
