verfasst von : Michael Reiterer
Erschienen in: Cybersecurity Policy in the EU and South Korea from Consultation to Action
Abstract
The chapter outlines the development of the EU’s cyber diplomacy and links it to the recent policy papers on the Indo-Pacific. Cyber diplomacy needs an all-in approach, accelerating cooperation to meet the challenges of cyber at the nexus of security and technology. It can make an essential contribution to strategic autonomy. Prime partners are in the Indo-Pacific in promoting digital governance and standard setting, to assure a global, open, free, stable and secure cyberspace for continued prosperity and protection of fundamental human rights in cyberspace. Cyber diplomacy fulfils three major functions: it supports externally the EU’s internal policies; protects the interests of the EU and the relevant stakeholders; and gives the EU through the Cyber Diplomacy Toolbox an offensive instrument to defend its interest more effectively. South Korea has an interest to participate in multilateral restrictive measures/sanctions especially when faced with attributable attacks by major forces.
