The trust deficit. EU bargaining for access and control over cloud infrastructures
The geopolitics of technology standards: Historical context for US, EU and Chinese approaches
This article provides a review of the historical trends that are shaping global competition for standard setting in emerging technologies. Specifically, it explores how the traditional rule-makers of international standardization, namely the United States and Europe, are responding to the rise of China in standard-setting. The article argues that three polities are adapting their standard-setting strategies to shifting power dynamics in the inter…

Internet of Things, cybersecurity and governing wicked problems: Learning From Climate Change Governance
The implementation of the Internet of Things (IoT) is central to what the World Economic Forum has coined the 'Fourth Industrial Revolution'; a technological revolution built upon cyber-physical systems that will blur the lines between the physical, digital and biological spheres. Novel interconnections will emerge as a result, challenging traditional relations and modes of governance. However, a central feature of the IoT is that the implication…
US Power and the Internet in International Relations: The Irony of the Information Age
Despite the pervasiveness of the Internet and its importance to a wide range of state functions, we still have little understanding of its implications in the context of International Relations. Combi
Public-private partnerships in national cyber-security strategies
Despite its centrality in the national cyber security strategies of the US and the UK, the public–private partnership is a nebulous arrangement, which is especially problematic in the context of critical infrastructure protection. Privately owned and operated critical infrastructure that is regarded as a potential national security vulnerability raises questions about the allocation of responsibility and accountability in terms of cyber security.…
Power Plays in Global Internet Governance
The multi-stakeholder model of global Internet governance has emerged as the dominant approach to navigating the complex set of interests, agendas and implications of our increasing dependence on this technology. Protecting this model of global governance in this context has been referred to by the US and EU as ‘essential’ to the future of the Internet. Bringing together actors from the private sector, the public sector and also civil society, mu…

Internet freedom, human rights and power
Internet Freedom is rapidly becoming understood as a normative framework for how the Internet should function and be used globally.Recently declared a human right by the United Nations, it also forms a central pillar of the US 21st Century Statecraft foreign policy doctrine.This article argues that although there is a clear human rights agenda present in this policy, there is also a power element which is much less discussed or acknowledged in th…
Scattered Sand: The story of China's rural migrants
Slouching towards dystopia: The New Military Futurism
In recent years, the military establishments of the US and the UK have produced a series of reports that attempt to 'think the unthinkable in imagining future threats to the security of the West. A new genre of military futurology has emerged which owes as much to apocalyptic Hollywood movies as it does to the cold war tradition of 'scenario planning . Often outlandish and bizarre in its prophecies, and always dystopian, this new military futuris…
The barbarians of Fallujah
The `global war on terror' is often represented as a struggle between incompatible opposites, of good versus evil, terror versus democracy and civilisation versus barbarism. The deployment of such dichotomies was part of the background to the onslaught on Fallujah in 2004, serving to provide the US military with the appearance of moral legitimacy, as it turned the city to rubble in order to `save' it. In the US media, the arrogant assumption that…
You are now entering Eurabia
In recent years, an increasingly influential intellectual consensus on both sides of the Atlantic has presented Europe as a doomed and decadent continent that is being transformed into an Islamic colony called ‘Eurabia’. The term was originally coined by the British-Swiss historian Bat Ye’or to describe what she identified as a secret project between European politicians and the Arab world for the ‘Islamicisation’ of Europe. What began as an outl…
