  • Summary

    The term “positive cyber peace” remains a concept laden with contradictions and ambiguity. A number of ontological tensions challenge the understanding of and, therefore, policy planning for cyber peace. Some advocates of cyber peace define it as a condition while others see it as a practice or set of practices. As a condition, cyber peace is sometimes defined as a kind of peace and at other times as something within cyber space. Distinct modes of ontologizing cyber peace as a set of practices include cyber peace as cyber peacemaking, as maintaining the stability of information technology, and/or as cyber defense actions. Further attention to scholarship about the terms “cyber” and “peace,” to boundary-setting distinctions between cyber peace and other social things, and to the implications of cyber peace metaphors suggest areas for further honing the conceptualization of this important term.
