CMS Researcher Tobias Liebetrau publishes new article in Journal of Cyber Policy
Researcher at CMS, Tobias Liebetrau, has co-authored a newly published article in the Journal of Cyber Policy entitled: “Cybersecurity and the politics of knowledge production: towards a reflexive practice”.
Based on his professional background in military intelligence, Tobias Liebetrau reflects on the practical challenges related to producing critical scholarly research on cybersecurity at the juncture between academia and (often confidential) policy. He outlines the ways in which knowledge production conditions what cybersecurity is, and what it can become, by highlighting the influence of five conditional factors: secrecy, technology, relationality, enactments of security and the political nature of knowledge production.
On this background, Tobias argues that a practice of reflexivity is important to nuance the understanding of cybersecurity and to further develop a growing research agenda.
