Assoc. Prof. Francis Rico Domingo recently published a book chapter entitled “Cyberspace” in The Routledge Handbook of Great Power Competition.

The abstract reads:

Cyberspace has evolved into a domain for hostile action, thereby amplifying the intensity of great power competition in the twenty-first century. While cyberspace was not intended to be a warfighting domain, great powers such as the People’s Republic of China (China), the Russian Federation (Russia), and the United States of America (USA) have created strategies and developed capabilities with the objective of harnessing the strategic advantages of cyber power. This chapter contributes to the existing literature on great power competition by exploring the historical context and dynamics of strategic competition in cyberspace. The author argues that cyberspace has become a prominent domain for strategic competition because it has expanded the opportunities for great powers to advance their national interests. The chapter first traces the history of great power competition in cyberspace in the twenty-first century and then examines the contemporary dynamics of this competition by looking into the strategies that states use for strategic competition. The last section discusses the implications of great power competition in cyberspace.
