Cyber War and Cyber Peace: Digital Conflict in the Middle East: Middle East Institute Policy Series

Editat de Eliza Campbell, Michael Sexton
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 29 iun 2022
The Middle East is the region in which the first act of cyber warfare took place. Since then, cyber warfare has escalated and has completely altered the course of the MENA region's geopolitics.With a foreword by top national security and cyber expert, Richard A. Clarke, this is the first anthology to specifically investigate the history and state of cyber warfare in the Middle East. It gathers an array of technical practitioners, social science scholars, and legal experts to provide a panoramic overview and cross-sectional analysis covering four main areas: privacy and civil society; the types of cyber conflict; information and influence operations; and methods of countering extremism online. The book highlights the real threat of hacktivism and informational warfare between state actors and the specific issues affecting the MENA region. These include digital authoritarianism and malware attacks in the Middle East, analysis of how ISIS and the Syrian electronic army use the internet, and the impact of disinformation and cybercrime in the Gulf. The book captures the flashpoints and developments in cyber conflict in the past 10 years and offers a snapshot of the region's still-early cyber history. It also clarifies how cyber warfare may develop in the near- to medium-term future and provides ideas of how its greatest risks can be avoided.

Recenzii

Cyber War and Cyber Peace in the Middle East tackles the history of a new and complex domain in a richly historic and notoriously complicated region. Assembling a diversity of perspectives from the Middle East and around the world, it captures a snapshot of the region's cyber flashpoints, delineates their underlying drivers, and begins to chart a path forward. With finesse, it distills a rapidly developing universe of conflict that thornily defies distillation.
Nations and courts struggle to keep pace with the worldwide cyber enterprise and are in danger of being trampled by the proliferation of tools and applications that threaten economic systems, critical infrastructure and those vulnerable sanctums, hearts and minds. The Middle East is an open marketplace for this race, where legal restrictions, defensive platforms, and privacy rights are neglected in pursuit of offensive capabilities with unknown second order effects. Policymakers owe thanks to the authors of "Cyber War and Cyber Peace in the Middle East" for distilling the urgent questions about international law, authorities, and comparative partner and adversarial capabilities into an explainer that ends with actionable, real world recommendations for international regulations and agreements to prevent interstate cyber conflict going forward, even as the field continues to accelerate.
We've spent a lot of cycles looking at the macro-level dynamics of cyberconflict or focused on the implications for a single nation. This book examines the issue in the context of a region whose history, geopolitics, and potential is as complex as cyberconflict itself.
Cyber War & Cyber Peace' raises important issues of the war that is not on the battlefield: sabotage of critical infrastructures, "lone-wolf terrorism" embodied in hacktivism, informational warfare between state actors, and the clash between technology and religion; all these are incorporated and addressed through real-life events which took place in the recent years in the Middle East, providing a riveting sneak peek into a new age in the Middle East - the digital age.
A searing and multi-layered exploration into the manipulation of information in cyberspace as it pertains to the MENA region. Convincingly identifying the destabilizing consequences of a panoply of disinformation, distortion, and influence operations, the authors paint a vivid portrait of the use of cyberspace to undermine safety, institutions, economies and the rule of law. The volume's proposed solutions for establishing international norms to tackle the threats in cyberspace are a welcome and much needed addition to the literature. A must-read for those concerned not only with fortifying the cyber realm but with the broad questions of international peace and security in the 21st century.
