ABSTRACT
This introduction presents an overview of the key concepts discussed in the subsequent chapters of this book. The book focuses on a number of challenges to secure and peaceful cyberspace. It introduces regional, sub-regional and national views. The book analyzes issues such as cyber capacity-building and national cybersecurity strategies but also offer normative standpoints on international cyber affairs. It also analyzes a variety of political, legal and technical solutions countries, the international community and communities of interests have come up with to solve or mitigate security issues and concerns. Cybersecurity governance is an emerging theme in international cybersecurity discourse. In the field of cybersecurity, for example, international law rather than calling for peace, peaceful settlement and cooperation is often seen to support operations, conflict and war. A motley crew of cybersecurity themes, discussed in various international cybersecurity venues, neither necessarily nor primarily constitutes international security concerns.
