Infrastructuring public-private relations
This paper demonstrates how an infrastructural lens offers novel ways of interrogating public-private relations in International Relations (IR). Advancing the idea that infrastructures mediate public-private relations, the paper argues that an infrastructural approach is well positioned to capture both the productivity and ambiguity of public-private boundary drawing in international politics. It deploys the infrastructural approach to examine Bi…
Reading Security Imaginaries as Fantasies – Loss, Desire, and Enjoyment in the Military Quest for Explainable AI
What does the Lacanian notion of fantasy offer to the study of security imaginaries? The article answers this question by introducing a fantasmatic reading strategy illustrated by a case study of the US narrative of ‘technological revolutions of war’ that has recently been fueled by a growing demand for ethical and explainable artificial intelligence in military applications and weapon systems. The article offers a Lacanian comment to the expandi…
Commitment and compromise in Danish cyber and tech diplomacy
This article explores the emergence of norm promotion strategies through an in-depth, partly autobiographical case-study spanning almost a decade of Danish cyber and tech diplomacy. The article engages the norms literature in International Relations and highlights the significance of the frequently overlooked internal negotiations that take place within the bureaucratic structures of norm entrepreneurs. Despite Denmark's favourable position and a…
Microsoft's Challenge to US Militarization of Cyberspace
Microsoft is making strategic attempts to change the US government's practices of exploiting technical vulnerabilities in Microsoft software for military and intelligence purposes. So far, these efforts have not borne fruit. Microsoft's strategy has much in common with one of the most common strategies proposed by the International Relations literature on norm entrepreneurship in terms of exposing the contradictions between the government's ideal…
Cyber offense in Nato
As a response to the Russian invasion of Crimea, NATO returned to the core military concepts of deterrence and collective defence. This NATO adaption has recently come to include attempts to integrate offensive cyber effects into NATO force structure and response doctrine. The article argues-counter to what is publicly declared-that such an integration does little to strengthen NATO's deterrence posture and is unlikely to deter non-military, hybr…
The post-politics of public-private security governance
How do public protests emerge and become impotent? Inspired by Žižek's ideology critique, the article examines the ideological underpinnings of contemporary public-private security governance and suggests that worried, complaining subjects are a product of a dominant discourse of expert knowledge and technification. It then introduces three Žižekian dynamics that prevent protests from challenging the prevailing discourse – particularisation, ultr…
Lacan in the US cyber defence
Edward Snowden exposed the discrepancy between the official US defence discourse of liberal values in cyberspace and secret surveillance and cyber exploitation practices. Situated in the critical literature on security and surveillance, the article proposes that more attention needs to be paid to the constitutive role of transgressive practices for security communities. The article introduces a Lacanian strategy for studying transgression in the …
From neurotic citizen to hysteric security expert
Within the emerging body of critical security research on expertise, most contributions have focused on reconstructing the risk governance regime that the expert professionals embody, including the anxious, neurotic subject that expert security practices reproduce. Through French psychoanalyst, Jacques Lacan’s Hysteric Discourse, the article advances the study of the neurotic subject to include the security policy expert. By introducing and apply…
Natos offensive cyberspaceoperationer. Muligheder og udfordringer ved Natos forespørgselsdrevne og effektbaserede tilgang
NATO har i det seneste årti orienteret sig mod de defensive aktiviteter i cyberspace, men i slutningen af 2017 gjorde alliancen det klart, at fremtidig planlægning af militære operationer også kommer til at indeholde muligheden for offensive cyberspaceoperationer (OCO). Inklusionen af OCO sker ved hjælp af en såkaldt ”effektbaseret model”. Ifølge denne model efterspørger NATOs øverstkommanderende – igennem det nyoprettede NATO Cyber Operations Ce…
En digital Gen vekonvention er ikke i Danmarks interesse
in EnglishAlthough Denmark, as a small-state actor, has an interest in global IT security and clarity of international norms in cyber space, this article argues that it is not in Denmark’s interest to pursue a “Digital Geneva Convention,” the proposal currently being put forward by Microsoft. Starting negotiations on a comprehensive digital convention would risk reopening already concluded international agreements and undermining on-going, non-bi…
Cyber-bombing Isis
It has become a conventional wisdom in strategic studies that the development and use of cyber weapons should be kept secret, as the effectiveness of these tools is dependent on opponents being unaware of a particular cyber weapon’s characteristics. Why, then, has the US military repeatedly publicized its cyber operations against ISIS in Syria and Iraq? Why reveal what is supposedly better conducted in the dark? In this essay, we provide four ans…
