cyberspace technology is deeply integrated with the contemporary social operating system, which has a comprehensive and profound impact on the national security governance operating mechanism and has become an important part of the national security discourse system. Compared with traditional space fields such as land, sea, air and space, cyberspace has two significant characteristics: evolution and integration. Based on the combination of science and technology, this book studies military-civilian integration . Based on the "system-process" theory in political science, this book explores the operating mechanism and deep logic of the impact of network information technology on national security governance, and analyzes the internal military-civilian entities within the U.S. cyberspace security governance system. Analyze the synergistic relationship between them, thereby forming a new perspective and theoretical framework for understanding the U.S. cyberspace security governance system, which is of practical significance to my country's in-depth promotion of military-civilian integration development strategy .
The focus of this book's research
(1) Analysis of the military-civilian coordination relationship in U.S. cyberspace security governance
As an emerging field of national security governance, the current domestic social science research on cyberspace security mainly focuses on macro-strategy and At the policy level, the overall study of the U.S. cyberspace security strategy as a fait accompli is consistent with the study of the country as a single actor in international relations theory. However, for a new field of national security, simple macro research is insufficient, and further analysis of its internal operating mechanism is needed. This is because cyberspace security has its own complexity compared to other spatial dimensions. Its governance system is actually evolving and maturing with the maturity of technology, and a new capability system and system have been formed in the development process. governance system. Therefore, from the perspective of national security, this book analyzes the operation and mutual relationship between the military and civilian subsystems in the U.S. cyberspace security governance system, and deeply understands the development process and capability formation mechanism of the U.S. cyberspace security strategy. Focus and innovation.
(2) Exploring the application of "system-process" theory in cyberspace research
For a long time, many scholars have believed that it is difficult to explain the complexity of cyberspace security using relevant theories of international politics and national security. However, with the development and application of technology becoming increasingly mature, researchers have a more intuitive and in-depth understanding of cyberspace. Therefore, they have gradually shifted from a technology-dominated research perspective to a direction that pays equal attention to both governance and technology research perspectives, using international relations or security There have been more and more theoretical studies on cyberspace security governance. The development of cyberspace is based on information technology, but cyberspace security is by no means a purely technical issue, but a systemic and strategic issue involving national security governance. This book combines the "system-process" theory proposed by many political science scholars at home and abroad to conduct a systematic analysis of the U.S. cyberspace security governance system, development process and effectiveness, and deeply analyzes the interaction between the military and civilian subjects in U.S. cyberspace. The influence of the entire system is summarized and analyzed, and the theoretical basis and strategic logic of the United States’ construction of a military-civilian collaborative cyberspace security system are summarized and analyzed.
(3) Provide reference for military-civilian collaboration in my country’s cyberspace security governance
Domestic scholars’ research on the U.S. defense technology industry often attributes it to “military-civilian integration.” This simplified understanding puts the research focus on the corporate entity level in the United States, while ignoring the underlying reasons for this phenomenon. In particular, it pays little attention to the relationship between actors at the national security level and the operation of power, while focusing on government power. The subject treats it as a pure demand input. This book uses the "system-process" theory to analyze U.S. cyberspace security, and introduces the concept of collaboration when explaining the relationship between military and civilian entities, thereby focusing the research on the interaction between subjects, and inter-subject interaction (information sharing). It is studied as an important sequence parameter of national security goals, thus transforming cyberspace research from pure technical research to the level of national security governance, from macro strategic narrative to the level of meso security system operating mechanism, making up for pure strategic research. The shortcomings of being too macroscopic and pursuing too much detail in technical analysis.
The military-civilian integration development strategy currently being promoted by our country is also a national security governance method and capability formation method proposed to adapt to the social changes brought about by current network information technology. Systematic analysis and design are also needed at the meso level of cyberspace security governance. Therefore, it is of practical significance to conduct in-depth research on military-civilian coordination strategies in U.S. cyberspace security governance.
