This textbook offers an accessible introduction to the topic of
cybersecurity ethics. The second edition has been revised and
updated, and contains new chapters on social justice, AI, and Big
Data. The book is split into three parts. Part I provides an
introduction to the field of ethics, philosophy, and philosophy of
science, three ethical frameworks - virtue ethics, utilitarian
ethics, and communitarian ethics - and the notion of ethical
hacking. Part II applies these frameworks to particular issues
within the field of cybersecurity, including privacy rights,
surveillance, and intellectual property. The third part concludes
by exploring current codes of ethics used in cybersecurity, with
chapters on artificial intelligence, social diversity, Big Data,
and cyberwarfare. The overall aims of the book are to: Provide
ethical frameworks to aid decision-making Present the key ethical
issues in relation to computer security Highlight the connection
between values and beliefs and the professional code of ethics The
textbook also includes three different features to aid students:
"Going Deeper" features provide background on individuals, events,
and institutions in cybersecurity; "Critical Issues" features
contemporary case studies; and "Tech Talks" contain features that
assume some familiarity with technological developments. The book
will be of much interest to students of cybersecurity, cyberethics,
hacking, surveillance studies, ethics, and information science.

This companion provides the most comprehensive and up-to-date
comparative overview of the cyber-security strategies and doctrines
of the major states and actors in Europe, North America, South
America, Africa, and Asia. The volume offers an introduction to
each nation's cyber-security strategy and policy, along with a list
of resources in English that may be consulted for those wishing to
go into greater depth. Each chapter is written by a leading
academic or policy specialist, and contains the following sections:
overview of national cyber-security strategy; concepts and
definitions; exploration of cyber-security issues as they relate to
international law and governance; critical examinations of cyber
partners at home and abroad; legislative developments and
processes; dimensions of cybercrime and cyberterrorism;
implications of cyber-security policies and strategies. This book
will be of much interest to students and practitioners in the
fields of cyber-security, national security, strategic studies,
foreign policy, and international relations.
'Threat Talk' exposes how US and Chinese scientists and
policy-makers have understood and responded to the problem of
internet addiction in their societies. Is the internet good or bad
for society? American analysts like Lessig and Zittrain suggest
that the internet is inherently liberating and positive for
society, while Morozov and Sageman warn that the internet poses
risks to citizens and societies. Using a comparative framework to
illustrate how the two states differ in their assessments of the
risks to citizens posed by the introduction of new technology, Mary
Manjikian compellingly argues that both 'risk' and 'disease' are
ideas which are understood differently at different historic
periods and in different cultures. Her culturalist approach claims
that the internet is neither inherently helpful, nor inherently
threatening. Rather, its role and the dangers it poses may be
understood differently by different societies. Is the internet good
or bad for society? The answer, it appears, is 'it depends'.
Housing is no longer about having a place to live - but about state
pressures to conform, norms and policies regarding citizenship, and
practices of surveillance and security. Breaking new ground in the
field of urban politics and international relations, Securitization
of Property Squatting in Europe examines and critiques legislative
initiatives and examines governmental attempts to reframe urban
property squatting as a crime and a threat to domestic security.
Using examples from France, Netherlands, Denmark, and Great
Britain, Mary Manjikian argues that developments within the
European Union - including terrorist attacks in London and Madrid,
the rise of right wing extremist parties, and the lifting of
barriers to immigration and travel within the EU - have had effects
on housing policy, which has become the subject of state security
policy in Europe's urban areas. In Denmark, squatting has often had
an ideological, anti-state character. In Paris, housing policy can
be viewed as a type of identity politics with squatters as
transnational actors who pose a transnational security threat. In
Great Britain, the role of the press has created a drive to
criminalize squatting. Events in the Netherlands present two
competing notions of what housing is - a human right, or an
economic good produced by the free market.
Mary Manjikian s Apocalypse and Post-Politics: The Romance of the
End advances the thesis that only those who feel the most safe and
whose lives are least precarious can engage in the sort of
storytelling which envisions erasing civilization.
Apocalypse-themed novels of contemporary America and historic
Britain, then, are affirmed as a creative luxury of development.
Manjikian examines a number of such novels using the lens of an
international relations theorist, identifying faults in the logic
of the American exceptionalists who would argue that America is
uniquely endowed with resources and a place in the world, both of
which make continued growth and expansion simultaneously desirable
and inevitable. In contrast, Manjikian shows, apocalyptic
narratives explore America as merely one nation among many, whose
trajectory is neither unique nor destined for success. Apocalypse
and Post-Politics ultimately argues that the apocalyptic narrative
provides both a counterpoint and a corrective to the narrative of
exceptionalism. Apocalyptic concepts provide a way for contemporary
Americans to view the international system from below: from the
perspective of those who are powerless rather than those who are
powerful. This sort of theorizing is also useful for intelligence
analysts who question how it all will end, and whether America s
decline can be predicted or prevented.

This is the first work to engage with intelligence studies through
the lens of queer theory. Adding to the literature in critical
intelligence studies and critical international relations theory,
this work considers the ways in which both the spy, and the
activities of espionage can be viewed as queer. Part One argues
that the spy plays a role which represents a third path between the
hard power of the military and the soft power of diplomacy. Part
Two shows how the intelligence community plays a key role in
enabling leaders of democracies to conduct covert activities
running counter to that mission and ideology, in this way allowing
a leader to have two foreign policies-an overt, public policy and a
second, closeted, queer foreign policy.

Introduction to Cyber Politics and Policy is a comprehensive
introductory textbook for cyber politics and security courses, and
the perfect addition to any International Relations or Intelligence
course. Written by Mary Manjikian, an expert in the field and an
instructor who has taught the course for ten years, it assumes no
prior knowledge of technical concepts, legal concepts, military
concepts or international relations theory. Instead, she aims to
bridge the gaps between the intricacies of technology and the
theories of political science. The book emphasizes the importance
of collaboration and understanding between the two fields -
students from both technology and political science backgrounds
need to understand the implications of technology decisions and the
policy questions that arise from them in order to make a meaningful
contribution to ever-changing field.
