Actors in the cyber sphere include countries’ armed forces, intelligence organizations, legal authorities, and natural and legal persons. Cyber War is defined as the intrusion by one state to destroy or disrupt the computer systems or networks of another state. It is defined as “the sort of warfare in which computer systems are employed to damage or destroy adversary systems” in the United Nations Glossary, in the same way as information warfare.

In order to counter cyber crimes and related issues, more studies needed to improve our understanding, inform policies and de...

‘This is the essential book today for understanding maritime security law” -Prof. James Kraska (US Naval War College & Harvard Law School) The recrudescence of great power competition at sea raises several legal problems. Maritime Security Law in Hybrid Warfare brings together authors from various fields of international law to address such challenges in the legal intersection between naval war, military activities, maritime law enforcement, and hybrid warfare. This book explores the means for increasing legal resilience against the emerging trend of weaponization of commercial ships, underwater cables and pipelines, lawfare, and migration by hybrid adversaries.
This book addresses the challenge of reforming defense and military policy-making in newly democratized nations. By tracing the development of civil-military relations in various new democracies from a comparative perspective, it links two bodies of scholarship that thus far have remained largely separate: the study of emerging (or failed) civilian control over armed forces on the one hand; and work on the roots and causes of military effectiveness to guarantee the protection and security of citizens on the other. The empirical and theoretical findings presented here will appeal to scholars of civil-military relations, democratization and security issues, as well as to defense policy-makers.
This encyclopedia provides an authoritative guide intended for students of all levels of studies, offering multidisciplinary insight and analysis of over 500 headwords covering the main concepts of Security and Non-traditional Security, and their relation to other scholarly fields and aspects of real-world issues in the contemporary geopolitical world.
Mısır'da otoriterleşme sorunu ilk demokratik kurumlarla birlikte yirminci yüzyılın başından itibaren var olmuştur.

Mısır’daki koloniyalizm, politik ve askeri bir ilişkinin ötesinde modernleşme, demokratikleşme, kimlik inşası ve bağımsızlık mücadelesini içeren çok boyutlu bir süreçtir. Diğer taraftan demokrasi, liberalleşme, hak arayışı, otoriterleşme, kurumsallaşma gibi siyasi kavramlar Mısır’ın siyasetinde sıkça manipüle edilmiş kavramlardır. Bu açıdan Mısır’da demokratik kurumların ak...
