<i>‘Whilst we are increasingly aware of the critical nature of cyber systems globally, it’s rare to find a book that goes beyond a few of the more widely discussed themes. Yet, as this unique collection of different perspectives clearly shows, issues relating to cybersecurity are so multi-faceted and touch virtually every person on the planet. This important book, co-edited by three thought leaders, will help us better understand the significance of emerging concepts such as “data sovereignty” and “technological sovereignty”, and will contribute to the ongoing and necessary debates relating to future governance frameworks.’</i>

- Steven Freeland, Emeritus Professor, Western Sydney University and Bond University, Australia,

<i>‘The editors, Roy Balleste, Gilles Doucet, and Michelle Hanlon, and respectable authors provide a delightful guide for those of us who are working on the important aspects of the space-cyber nexus and a good introduction for those who want to learn about it. This is more than a good read!’</i>

- Nebile Pelin Manti, SGAC Space and Cybersecurity Project Group and Istanbul University, Turkey,

Elgar Research Agendas outline the future of research in a given area. Leading scholars are given the space to explore their subject in provocative ways, and map out the potential directions of travel. They are relevant but also visionary.



This Research Agenda provides a roadmap for research in cybersecurity law and policy, covering critical topics such as autonomous systems, geopolitics, internet governance, national security, terrorism, space cybersecurity, data privacy, and cloud computing.



The book explores the competencies needed to understand and apply cybersecurity concepts, examines the normative frameworks in Internet governance, analyses geopolitical shifts driven by digital technology, and discusses the legal challenges of autonomous systems. Additionally, it addresses the intersection of cybersecurity with national security, terrorism, and the protection of critical satellite infrastructure. It also covers privacy and data protection laws, including the impact of GDPR, and highlights the importance of indigenous data sovereignty. This volume is an essential starting point for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers navigating the multifaceted cyberspace domain.



A Research Agenda for Cybersecurity Law and Policy is an essential resource for students and researchers in information and media law, military law, public international law, technology law, and terrorism and security law. It is also a useful guide for those looking to understand the evolution of research in cybersecurity, data protection, and privacy.
