论文摘要
本文探讨了一个研究问题，即是否是否是否通过正式和非正式协议，联盟和规范来参与双边和多边合作（BMC）的民族国家激励措施是否会影响民族国家的激励措施。尤其是从国际关系和结构现实主义中得出的，提出了三个假设，用于从经验上评估研究问题：（i）提高网络能力会减少BMC的激励措施； （ii）积极证明和发挥网络能力会降低对BMC的意愿； （iii）小州更喜欢BMC来进行网络安全和政治。根据29个国家 /地区的越野数据集，所有三个假设均被拒绝。尽管在研究问题上提出了“负面结果”，但随附的讨论为国际关系和政治科学领域的以国家为中心的网络安全研究做出了贡献。
This paper explores a research question about whether defensive and offensive cyber security power and the capabilities to exercise the power influence the incentives of nation-states to participate in bilateral and multilateral cooperation (BMC) through formal and informal agreements, alliances, and norms. Drawing from international relations in general and structural realism in particular, three hypotheses are presented for assessing the research question empirically: (i) increasing cyber capability lessens the incentives for BMC; (ii) actively demonstrating and exerting cyber power decreases the willingness for BMC; and (iii) small states prefer BMC for cyber security and politics thereto. According to a cross-country dataset of 29 countries, all three hypotheses are rejected. Although presenting a "negative result" with respect to the research question, the accompanying discussion contributes to the state-centric cyber security research in international relations and political science.
