ISBN: 0415401852 ISBN-13: 9780415401852 Publisher: Routledge OUR PRICE: $152.00 Product Type: Hardcover - Other Formats Published: February 2007 Annotation: This book examines the impact of the information revolution on international and domestic security, attempting to remedy both the lack of theoretically informed analysis of information security and the US-centric tendency in the existing literature. International Relations and Security in the Digital Age covers a range of topics, including: critical infrastructure protection, privacy issues, international cooperation, cyber terrorism, and security policy. It aims to analyze the impact of the information revolution on international and domestic security; examine what existing international relations theories can say about this challenge; and discuss how international relations theory can be developed to better meet this challenge. The analysis suggests that Liberalisms focus on pluralism, interdependence and globalization, Constructivisms emphasis on language, symbols and images (including virtuality), and some elements of Realist strategic studies (on the specific topic of information warfare) contribute to a better understanding of digital age security. This book will be of interest to students of security studies, globalization, international relations, and politics and technology. |
