This book explores the political process behind the construction
of cyber-threats as one of the quintessential security threats of
modern times in the US.
Myriam Dunn Cavelty posits that cyber-threats are definable by
their unsubstantiated nature. Despite this, they have been
propelled to the forefront of the political agenda. Using an
innovative theoretical approach, this book examines how, under what
conditions, by whom, for what reasons, and with what impact
cyber-threats have been moved on to the political agenda. In
particular, it analyses how governments have used threat frames,
specific interpretive schemata about what counts as a threat or
risk and how to respond to this threat. By approaching this subject
from a security studies angle, this book closes a gap between
practical and theoretical academic approaches. It also contributes
to the more general debate about changing practices of national
security and their implications for the international
community.
