Digital Crossroads
Abstract
The contemporary international system stands at a digital crossroads, a point of inflexion where the fundamental tenets of power, sovereignty, and security are being radically redefined by the emergence of cyberspace as a new domain of human interaction and geopolitical contestation. This transformation represents more than a technological evolution; it constitutes a fundamental restructuring of how states conceive, project, and exercise power in the 21 st century. The digital revolution has created an entirely new arena for international competition that operates according to different rules, temporal dynamics, and strategic logics than traditional domains of statecraft.
