Summary
The chapter begins by giving an overview of the background against which efforts to agree on international norms regulating cybersecurity take place. It highlights intensifying cyberthreats, increasing geopolitical tensions, and the rise of China, as well as a backlash against economic globalisation, which call for a reassessment of cybersecurity governance. It then summarises the main aims of the book, which examines cybersecurity challenges, governance responses to them, and their limitations, engaging an interdisciplinary approach combining legal and international relations disciplines. It builds on the fundamental premise that cybersecurity challenges require a widely agreed-upon set of international norms. it examines the current political and legal contexts of cybersecurity governance and highlights the divide between two contrasting models of cybergovernance: state-oriented and market-oriented. The chapter then offers a brief overview of all chapters of the book.
