Cyber Macht: Laying the Groundwork for a New Comprehensive Academic Theory

摘要

The authors outline a comprehensive academic theory on Cyber Macht (Cyber Power) that updates Soft Power or Noopolitik and includes elements of Information Operations (IO) and the practical aspects of diplomacy and warfare. Centered on communication paths and changes in connectivity and focused around the theme that power is now globally distributed because of huge increases in 1) access to information for people around the world and 2) their ability to influence events far beyond previous ranges, this theory references power and influence operations.
