Securing Democracies

$368⁰⁰

This book assembles a diverse, global set of scholars and practitioners who focus on securing election infrastructure as well as the overriding problem of managing misinformation, disinformation, and deep fakes. Our main areas of focus are the geopolitical front lines, namely Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and East Asia.

This book explores both sides of securing democracies – protecting elections and building trust in institutions by managing disinformation.

Description

Securing Democracies examines the attacks on voting processes and the broader informational environment in which elections take place. The volume's global cadre of scholars and practitioners highlight the interconnections among efforts to target vulnerable democratic systems and identify ways to prevent, defend against, and mitigate their effects on both the technical and the informational aspects of cybersecurity.

The work takes a wider view of defending democracy by recognizing that both techniques—attacking infrastructure and using misinformation and disinformation—are means to undermine trust and confidence in democratic institutions. As such, the book proposes a wide range of policy responses to tackle these cyber-enabled threats focusing on the geopolitical front lines, namely Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and East Asia.

This title is also available as open access on Cambridge Core.
