To what extent do cyberspace operations increase the risks of
escalation between nation-state rivals? Scholars and practitioners
have been concerned about cyber escalation for decades, but the
question remains hotly debated. The issue is increasingly important
for international politics as more states develop and employ
offensive cyber capabilities, and as the international system is
increasingly characterized by emergent multipolarity. In Escalation
Dynamics in Cyberspace, Erica D. Lonergan and Shawn W. Lonergan
tackle this question head-on, presenting a comprehensive theory
that explains the conditions under which cyber operations may lead
to escalation. In doing so, they challenge long-held assumptions
about strategic interactions in cyberspace, arguing that cyberspace
is not as dangerous as the conventional wisdom might suggest. In
some cases, cyber operations could even facilitate the
de-escalation of international crises. To support their claims,
Lonergan and Lonergan test their theory against a range of in-depth
case studies, including strategic interactions between the United
States and key rivals; a series of case studies of the role of
cyber operations in international crises; and plausible future
scenarios involving cyber operations during conflict. They then
apply their analytical insights to policymaking, making the case
that skepticism is warranted about the overall efficacy of
employing cyber power for strategic ends. By exploring the role of
cyber operations in routine competition, crises, and warfighting,
Escalation Dynamics in Cyberspace presents nuanced insights about
how cyberspace affects international politics.
