Routledge National Cyber Emergencies - Civil Defence Book

Understand the evolving landscape of digital security with National Cyber Emergencies: The Return to Civil Defence. Part of the Routledge Studies in Conflict, Security and Technology series, this book provides a detailed examination of how nations prepare for cyber emergencies during both peace and war. Since the United States declared a national emergency in cyberspace in 2015, the global approach to state-sponsored cyber attacks has changed. This volume tracks the shift from cooperative, resilience-oriented strategies to more regulated, state-led civil defence initiatives. While the American model has influenced other nations, this book explores how these responses vary across the globe. This text is an essential resource for those studying the intersection of technology and national security. It offers a clear analysis of the escalating sense of crisis in the digital age and the different ways governments are responding to modern threats. Whether you are researching security policy or global conflict, this book provides necessary context on the changing nature of digital defense.
