Cyberprzestrzeń jako nowy wymiar rywalizacji i współpracy państw
Miron Lakomy
Prezentowana praca stanowi próbę omówienia skuteczności środków teleinformatycznych jako instrumentów polityki zagranicznej państw. W przeprowadzonej analizie, biorącej pod uwagę zarówno aspekty rywalizacji, jak i współpracy rządów w cyberprzestrzeni, wykorzystano elementy teorii polityki zagranicznej. W rozprawie omówiono przede wszystkim istotę i etapy rewolucji cyfrowej, która doprowadziła do wykształcenia się przestrzeni teleinformatycznej. Następnie scharakteryzowano jej najważniejsze cechy, zarówno w ujęciu technicznym, jak i politologicznym. Na tej podstawie, podjęto próbę stworzenia uproszczonej typologii zagrożeń teleinformatycznych dla bezpieczeństwa państw, obejmującej takie zjawiska jak haking, haktywizm czy cyberterroryzm. Wreszcie, dokonano analizy najbardziej doniosłych przykładów rywalizacji i współpracy państw w cyberprzestrzeni. Z jednej strony, omówiono m.in. wydarzenia w Estonii w kwietniu i maju 2007 roku, w Gruzji w sierpniu 2008 roku czy w Iranie od 2010 roku (Stuxnet). Z drugiej strony, scharakteryzowano także przejawy kooperacji państw w tej dziedzinie, na przykładzie m.in. Organizacji Narodów Zjednoczonych, Unii Europejskiej, NATO czy Unii Afrykańskiej. Praca ta jest skierowana przede wszystkim do przedstawicieli nauk o polityce i nauk o bezpieczeństwie, decydentów polityki zagranicznej, przedstawicieli służb odpowiedzialnych za bezpieczeństwo teleinformatyczne RP, dziennikarzy, a także studentów politologii, bezpieczeństwa narodowego, stosunków międzynarodowych bądź kierunków pokrewnych. Artykuł o książce ukazał się w czasopiśmie „Gazeta Uniwersytecka UŚ” nr 2 (232) listopad 2015. Recenzja książki ukazała się: na stronach czasopisma internetowego „Sprawy Nauki” nr 1 (206) styczeń 2016, w czasopiśmie „Nowe Książki” 6/2016, s. 74–75 (Michał Baranowski: Cyfrowa wojna i pokój).
