Richards, Julian, “Cyber Warfare”, in David Armstrong (ed.), Oxford Bibliographies in International Relations, (New York: Oxford University Press, 2014). doi: 10.1093/OBO/9780199743292-0076.

This article appears in the International Relations division of Oxford University Press’s Oxford Bibliographies resource, edited currently by The University of Buckingham’s Professor David Armstrong. This article provides an invaluable reference source for those researching and writing about contemporary cyber warfare threats, breaking the subject down into a range of factors including critical readings of the threat; the relationship between cyber warfare and the changing nature of conflict more generally; the possible emergence of a “new Cold War” with China and Russia; and some case studies of where cyber attacks may have happened. The resource is particularly useful for non-technical researchers of the subject interested in the wider socio-political elements of this most inter-disciplinary of areas.
