Cybersecurity in Asia and the Role of U.S. Leadership: an Interview with James Lewis

Abstract

GJAA covers topics pertinent to Central, Northeast, Southeast, and South Asia, combining policy prescriptions, academic research, and pedagogical insights on Asia.

Te Internet has emerged as a platform for social, economic, and even military interaction. As these interactions grow in number and consequence, states are grappling with how to translate policy intended for the physical world into the cyber domain. The Journal sat down with cyber expert James Lewis of the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) to discuss how the Obama administration approaches issues such as Internet sovereignty, multilateral cooperation, and governance in cyberspace. Additionally, Dr. Lewis provided insight into how the United States and China are currently managing their relationship as well as how recent events, such as the North Korean hacking of Sony Pictures Entertainment, fit into global trends.
