Lucas, George Ethics and Cyber Warfare (0190276525)
In this work, an internationally-respected authority in military ethics describes a wholly new kind of cyber conflict that has utterly confounded the predictions of earlier experts in information warfare. Comparing this 'state-sponsored hacktivism' to the transformative impact of 'irregular warfare' in conventional armed conflict, Lucas offers a critique of legal approaches to governance, and outlines a new approach to ethics and 'just war' reasoning (grounded in the political philosophies of Alasdair MacIntyre, John Rawls, and Jürgen Habermas) that provides both a framework for understanding these newly-emerging norms of practice for cyber conflict, and the basis for a professional 'code of ethics' for the new generation of 'cyber warriors.'
