The fifth part analyzes at the individual level the efforts of the Latin American countries in developing a national cybersecurity policy and building cyber capabilities based on the reports of the Organization of American States (OAS) and the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), and it also analyzes with the indicators of the NCSI methodology. Then, it analyzes the current state of cyber capabilities in the region, based on measurements as the Global Cybersecurity Index (GCI) and the National Cyber Security Index (NSCI), in order to make a comparative analyzes between Latin America and other regions of the world. In the third part, the global cyber threat context is presented and its comparison with the situation in Latin America. The second section explains the process of securitization of the Internet in the last decade of the 20th century and the first decade of the 21st century. In this way, the research has six parts, the first one presents the theoretical approaches of neorealism, constructivism and theory of war, and shows the links between the theories of international relations, national security and cybersecurity. This research is based on the hypothesis that the Latin American region has serious deficiencies in the development of a national cybersecurity policy and in the construction of skills to face the risks and threats from cyberspace in dimensions that affect national security and foreign policy.
This book will be of much interest to students of geopolitics, strategic studies, military history, and international relations. This book breaks new ground in seeking to provide a way to understand why and how the geographical scope of political objectives and subsequent strategy both expands and contracts. In addition, the case studies will illuminate the challenges that states face when attempting to change the scope of their foreign policy and geo-strategy in response to shifts in geopolitical reality.
Taken together they offer the prospect of con verting descriptions of historical change into analytic explanations, thereby highlighting the importance of a number of commonly overlooked variables. This book addresses three interrelated questions: why does the geographical scope of political objectives and subsequent strategy of states change? How do these changes occur? Over what period of time do these changes occur? The theories of Sir Halford Mackinder and Nicholas Spykman are examined in order to provide an analytical narrative for five case studies, four historical and one contemporary.
This volume examines geopolitics by looking at the interaction between geography, strategy and history.
