网络能力和网络力量是否能激励国际合作?
Do Cyber Capabilities and Cyber Power Incentivize International Cooperation?
摘要:
本文探讨了一个研究问题,即防御性和进攻性网络安全力量以及行使权力的能力是否会影响民族国家通过正式和非正式协议、联盟和规范参与双边和多边合作(BMC)的动机。从一般的国际关系和结构现实主义,特别是三个假设,提出了评估研究问题的经验:(一)增加网络能力减少BMC的激励;(二)积极展示和发挥网络力量减少BMC的意愿;和(三)小国更喜欢BMC的网络安全和政治。根据29个国家的跨国数据集,所有三个假设都被拒绝。虽然在研究问题上呈现出“负面结果”,但伴随的讨论有助于国际关系和政治学中以国家为中心的网络安全研究。
英文摘要:
This paper explores a research question about whether defensive and offensive cyber security power and the capabilities to exercise the power influence the incentives of nation-states to participate in bilateral and multilateral cooperation (BMC) through formal and informal agreements, alliances, and norms. Drawing from international relations in general and structural realism in particular, three hypotheses are presented for assessing the research question empirically: (i) increasing cyber capability lessens the incentives for BMC; (ii) actively demonstrating and exerting cyber power decreases the willingness for BMC; and (iii) small states prefer BMC for cyber security and politics thereto. According to a cross-country dataset of 29 countries, all three hypotheses are rejected. Although presenting a "negative result" with respect to the research question, the accompanying discussion contributes to the state-centric cyber security research in international relations and political science.
