Samenvatting:

Cybersecurity has come to play a critical role in the foreign affairs of the United States. The U.S. is facing a host of known and emerging threats in cyberspace that threatens not only its critical national security infrastructure, but also its economic stability and the privacy of its citizens. The President's 2011 International Strategy for Cyberspace, which serves as the guide for the Nation's policy, lays out the following strategic goal: The United States will work internationally to promote an open interoperable, secure, and reliable information and communications infrastructure that supports international trade in commerce, strengthens international security, and fosters free expression and innovation. To achieve that goal, we will build and sustain an environment in which norms of responsible behavior guides states' actions, sustain partnership, and support the rule of law in cyberspace. How successful has United States policy been in the building of a reliable international framework to enforce responsible behavior in cyberspace? How assertive is U.S. diplomacy in both deterring these known threats, but also building viable coalitions with our partners around the world that share our vision of open, interoperable, secure, and reliable information and communication infrastructure?
