An American strategy for cyberspace
Success in cyberspace is essential to the advancement of America’s national interests. Digital technologies determine how many of the processes that define modern societies operate, from communications to finance, electricity to transportation, espionage to national defense. The ability to control how these technologies are used in the present — and to influence the course of their development in the future — is a vital element of national power. Tomorrow, AEI will release a major report, the result of more than two years of work through our Global Internet Strategy project, that puts forward a comprehensive strategy for cyberspace designed to advance America’s national interests in freedom, security, and prosperity.
The report begins from a recognition that, while the US invented and pioneered the Internet, today’s cyberspace is truly global. Fewer than one out of ten of the world’s three billion Internet users live in the US, while nearly a quarter live in China. The global nature of cyberspace means that America cannot isolate itself from the global Internet nor expect to dictate unilaterally the policies and practices that govern its use and future development. However, it can and must use its influence and power to ensure the Internet remains a force for good in the world. To be successful, it needs a comprehensive strategy.
