first-principles analysis of cybersecurity governance, standards power and international order
George Christou
Reader in International Cybersecurity Governance
George Christou approaches Internet standards from first principles of security, sovereignty, power and institutional order. Her analysis explains why technical coordination cannot be separated from geopolitical strategy, market positioning or public-interest accountability, particularly when civil society actors seek influence in cybersecurity-relevant standards and governance processes.
