''Interdisciplinary' is often overused to the point of being
meaningless, but Shackelford truly demonstrates the real value of
practical, truly interdisciplinary thinking that is required to
confront the escalating challenges of international cyber risks.
Piecemeal approaches of only policy, technology, or geography are
inadequate to the challenge, and Shackelford's background and
expertise shine through in timely and useful guidance for the many
of us who deal with these challenges every day.' Brad Wheeler, Vice
President for IT and CIO, Indiana University
'Professor Scott Shackelford's Managing Cyber Attacks in
International Law, Business, and Relations is the first work to
deftly surmount the interdisciplinary barriers that have so hobbled
effective discourse in the stove-piped field of cyber security. His
argument for employing polycentric governance to securing 'cyber
peace' is both novel and thought-provoking - it is out-of-the-box
thinking at its best. While every reader may not be convinced by
Shackelford's vision, all will be challenged to revisit their own
views on the subject.' Michael Schmitt, Director, Stockton Center
for the Study of International Law, Naval War College, and
Director, Tallinn Manual and Tallinn 2.0 projects
'Shackelford tackles the complexities of cyber policy formulation
and in a time when others are focusing too much on cyber war, he
offers a fresh route to achieve cyber peace.' Richard A. Clarke,
former National Coordinator for Security, Infrastructure
Protection, and Counter-terrorism for the United States, and author
of Cyber War: The Next Threat to National Security and What to Do
About It
'Scott Shackelford's Managing Cyber Attacks in International Law,
Business, and Relations is a must-read for anyone interested in
cybersecurity. By turns informative, yet hopeful, it provides a
good outline of one potential avenue to cyber peace. Shackelford's
book is thought-provoking and innovative, even when you disagree
with him.' Paul Rosenzweig, Georgetown Professor and former Deputy
Assistant Secretary for Policy, Department of Homeland Security
'Professor Scott Shackelford's book is a timely intervention to
press for cyber peace at a time when many nations, global
institutions and enterprises are threatened by cyberattacks. I urge
all readers of this excellent treatise to take its lessons to heart
and seek greater multistakeholder cooperation to combat the growing
array of cyber threats around the world … Shackelford ably explores
the dynamics of cyber threats and the security implications of
fractured Internet governance, the weapons that are continuously
evolving to strike at the vulnerabilities in cyberspace, and the
urgent need to secure critical national infrastructure in the
digital age and embrace cybersecurity best practices in order to
prevent cyber war and secure cyber peace.' Dr Hamadoun I. Touré,
Secretary-General, International Telecommunication Union (from the
Foreword)
'Amid a growing collection of narrow, stove-piped treatments of the
topic of cyber security, Professor Shackelford offers a truly
holistic look at one of the world's most pressing security
dilemmas. Equal parts law, politics, and business, this compelling
text is essential reading for anyone interested in gaining a more
complete and informed perspective on cyber security. Shackelford
impressively reduces the formidable legal and technical barriers to
understanding this challenging subject, all the while maintaining
an admirably high level of sophistication and nuance.' Sean Watts,
Creighton University School of Law, and co-author of the Tallinn
Manual on the International Law Applicable to Cyber Warfare
'Scott Shackelford is the rare scholar with expertise in the
practical functioning of the Internet, its commercial and
communication context, and the international law essential to
governing this truly global phenomenon. The value of his expertise
is seen in the goal of his book - getting the world to focus on
cyber peace instead of nihilistic cyber war.' Mary Ellen O'Connell,
Robert and Marion Short Professor of Law, University of Notre
Dame
'Making and maintaining cyber peace is [a] compelling international
challenge. This book affords a fresh and original approach to the
vexed problem of dealing with cyber attacks in a world grown wary
of new international treaties and with lax to non-existent
enforcement mechanisms for such law as does apply. Shackelford
extends the model of polycentric governance to the arena of
cybersecurity, recommending that the partial vacuum of norms be
filled with a wide variety of security and enforcement structures,
from bilateral treaties and regional partnerships to industry and
trade organizations. A must-read book for every stakeholder.' Don
Howard, Director, Reilly Center for Science, Technology, and
Values, University of Notre Dame
