Cyberstate sovereignty. (c2016)

Abstract

Globalization has played a pivotal role in the proliferation of cybercrime where the availability of modern technology has facilitated a wide access to information. The open border era has further expedited the procurement of information. Among the primary ramifications of cybercrimes is a serious breach in state’s sovereignty within both economic and security contexts. This thesis examines the different types of cybercrimes and reveals their implications. It also explores states’ responses through a comparative assessment of anti-cybercrime strategies utilized by UAE, USA, China, and EU. The thesis highlights differential challenges and rising requisites for interstate collaboration to help preserve cyberstate sovereignty.
