In the post-industrial age, information is more valuable than territory and has become the main commodity influencing geopolitics today. The reliance of societies on cyberspace and information and communication technologies (ICTs) for economic prosperity and national security represents a new domain of human activity and conflict. Their potential as tools of social disruption and the low cost of entry of asymmetric conflict have forced a paradigm shift. The Cyber Threat and Globalization is designed for students of security studies and international relations, as well as security professionals who want a better grasp of the nature and existential threat of today’s information wars. It explains policies and concepts, as well as describes the threats posed to the U.S. by disgruntled employees, hacktivists, criminals, terrorists, and hostile governments.Features ·Special textboxes provide vignettes and case studies to illustrate key concepts.·Opinion pieces, essays, and extended quotes from noted subject matter experts underscore the main ideas.·Written to be accessible to students and the general public, concepts are clear, engaging, and highly practical.

Jack Jarmon has taught international relations courses at the University of Pennsylvania, the John C. Whitehead School of Diplomacy and International Relations at Seton Hall University, and Rutgers University where he was also Associate Director of the Command, Control and Interoperability Center for Advanced Data Analysis —a Center of Excellence of the Department of Homeland Security, Science and Technology Division. Pano Yannakogeorgos is Dean of the Air University Cyber College. Previously, he taught at Rutgers University Division of Global Affairs, and served as an Adviser within the United Nations Security Council.

Globalization and Cyber Security are both currently compelling topics. The first has been running for long enough to have acquired chameleon like characteristics making its consequences hard to interpret and the second, emerging somewhat later, but around for long enough to raise serious anxieties. The communications revolution which matured in the later 20th century has been the fundamental cause of these phenomena and this book makes that relationship very clear. In doing so, it creates a hitherto unfamiliar but vitally important context for linking and then learning about both. Such an achievement would be remarkable but less significant in its effect if it were not for the clarity and ingenuity of the book’s presentation. This is a seriously useful contribution neatly and effectively aimed at the appropriate educational level and will be of great interest to a more general readership as well.
