Special Issue on Cyber(in)security
Review of Digital Politics
Call for papers

Once viewed as the exclusive, inaccessible realm of IT industries, 
technical experts and national security agencies, cybersecurity has 
rapidly emerged, both nationally and at the global level, as one of the 
major public concerns of contemporary societies, gaining the status of 
top priority in media and governments’ agendas. New strategies and 
policies aimed at facing cybernetic threats are designed and implemented 
all over the world, outlining different models of digital security, 
which depend on the interplay between economic, cultural and political 
factors. Social processes of threat identification and policy responses, 
at the same time, redefine the main conceptualizations of security in 
the political arena, which varies according to the places and contexts 
where cybersecurity is thought and practiced.

This Special Issue of the Review of Digital Politics investigates the 
political dimension of cybersecurity, including public policy making, 
relationships between public institutions and private actors, political 
controversies emerging in different national contexts, and the processes 
of negotiation, cooperation and conflict resolution occurring in 
international arenas as well as in multistakeholder global fora.

In particular, this Special Issues invites submissions that explore the 
following aspects:

– The politics of cyber-threat;

– The geopolitics of cybersecurity;

– The political economy of cybersecurity;

– Cybersecurity policies in comparative perspective;

– Securitization and hyper-securitization of cyberspace;
