Summary: Cybersecurity is a complex and contested issue in international politics. By focusing on 'great powers' - the US, the EU, Russia and China - studies in the field often fail to capture the specific politics of cybersecurity in the Middle East, especially in Egypt and the GCC states. Drawing on new interviews and original fieldwork, James Shires shows how the label of cybersecurity is repurposed by states, companies and other organizations to encompass a variety of concepts, including state conflict, targeted spyware, domestic information controls and foreign interference through leaks and disinformation.
