Relaţii Internaţionale: echilibrul de putere în spaţiul cibernetic
INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS 2.0: THE BALANCE OF POWER IN CYBERSPACE

Summary/Abstract: This paper has as main objective to emphasize the characteristics of a new “dimension” - cyberspace centered - of international relations (IR 2.0). Together with an entire spectrum of new threats and risks, ranging from individual cyber attacks to e-war, IR 2.0 promotes a new formula for analysis, which could be labeled as netpolitik or cyberpolitik. The netpolitik / cyberpolitik could be built taking into account the new features of power / balance of power within the cyberspace and envisages the use of coherent approaches such as the “Cyber Triad” in dealing with the diversity of obstacles and actors across the management of cyber threats. In the meantime, the development of the netpolitik / cyberpolitik is emphasizing a specific, but significant feature: an efficient cyber defense is dependent both on a thorough cooperation between states at regional / global level, as well as between governments and private sector.
