Cyber blockades can take place through digital, physical, and\/or electromagnetic means. Blockade operations have historically been considered acts of war, thus their emergence in cyberspace has significant implications for international law and for our understanding of cyber warfare. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe author defines and explains the emerging concept of \"cyber blockades\" and presents a unique comparison of blockade operations in five different domains-on land, at sea, in the air, in space, and in cyberspace-identifying common elements as well as important distinctions. Alison Lawlor Russell's framework for defining cyber blockades, understanding how they occur, and considering the motivations of actors who employ them is applied with in-depth analysis of the cyber attacks on Estonia in 2007 and on Georgia during the 2008 Georgia-Russia War. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlockade operations have occurred in cyberspace and will doubtlessly be used again in the future, by both state and non-state actors alike, because of the unique advantages of this type of attack. This book offers recommendations for policymakers contemplating or confronted by such attacks. \u003ci\u003eCyber Blockades\u003c\/i\u003e is also a must-read for scholars and students of security studies, terrorism, substate groups, and the future of warfare. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alison Lawlor Russell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1626161119\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781626161115\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Georgetown University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/05\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.99lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.56d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2015 pg. 1926","brand":"Alison Lawlor Russell","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44125083009279,"sku":"9781626161115","price":104.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_58a7851c-1e4a-4e2a-a79a-c8e9bff2d593.jpg?v=1687440542","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/cyber-blockades-alison-lawlor-russell-9781626161115","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
