Short description:
In this article the authors offer a process-cantered analysis of cybernorms, one that foregrounds how norms work and that complements existing debates over what they say. In Part I they map the cybersecurity problem. They illustrate the economic, humanitarian and national security stakes involved and explore the varied contexts that create diverse cybersecurity challenges. In Part II, they introduce the norm concept and examine the elements that make up any norm. In Part II, they examine the claim that cyberspace is a unique regulatory arena such that lessons about norms from other domains may not apply.
