A Comparative Study on Cybersecurity Act Implemented in the United States and China

학위논문 (석사) -- 서울대학교 대학원 : 국제대학원 국제학과(국제지역학전공), 2020. 8. 신성호.The past decade in cyberspace witnessed state-mediated attack in pursuance of accomplishing ones political end. Once limited to opportunistic private criminal groups, the concept of cyberattack transformed into a countrys important means to bolster national security and further propagate national stance in cyberspace. Henceforth, cyberspace emerges as compelling security realm. When compared to traditional security environment, judging the situation is convoluted on account of the unique characteristics of cyberspace. Under the amorphous nature of cyberspace, if anything, nations become more nationalized. The nature of cyber realm characterized by innate openness and hyper-connectivity will trigger structural change in cybersecurity landscape. Thus the thesis argues that although nations will actively interact and engage in collective initiatives fueled by the rising voice of forming global governance for cybersecurity, the overriding state sovereignty in the end would breed discord in the cyber era. Every move in cyberspace rests upon a nations political end thereby taking account of geopolitical interests assumes greater importance since invisible borderline matters. Given the nations inclination to utilize cyber capabilities for political ends, what happens in conventional security realm can also occur in cyberspace. The thesis chooses the US and China, allegedly Group of Two (G2), to study how both country take governmental measures vis-à-vis cybersecurity. Two great powers, with no doubt, are the pioneers in this emerging security realm. Not only both actively engage in building up cyber capabilities but also actively engage in appealing for cooperation to its allies. By conducting a comparative study on Cybersecurity Act of 2015 in the US and Cybersecurity Law of the PRC in 2016, the thesis aims to demonstrate how G2 implement legal regulation to safeguard domestic information infrastructure amidst the rising cyber threats posed by both state and non-state actors. In doing so, the thesis will research how respective country exerts its national interests in cyberspace while cooperate with other countries to defend global security. The thesis will add a new dimension on current cybersecurity studies by filling the gaps in previous literature. The thesis will contribute in understanding Sino-US relation regarding hegemonic competition in cyberspace and further propose the prospects of nations in the cyber era.지난 십 년의 사이버환경은 정치적 목적을 이루기 위한 수단으로써 국가 주도의 사이버공격이 주를 이룬다. 한때 기회주의적 범죄집단에 국한된 사이버공격은 이제 한 국가의 정치적 목적 달성, 사이버 공간에서의 정치적 선전의 중요한 수단으로 이용된다. 이에 따라 사이버공간은 그 귀추가 주목되는 신(新)안보영역으로 급부상하고 있다. 전통적 안보 영역과 비교했을 때 사이버공간의 독특한 특성으로 말미암아 사이버안보 환경을 가늠하는 것은 훨씬 복잡하다. 개방성과 초연결성으로 특징되는 무정형의 사이버 공간에서 역설적이게도 국가는 더욱 국가주의적인 경향을 보인다. 안전한 사이버안보 환경 수립을 위해 글로벌거버넌스 구축의 필요성에 더해 각 국가들이 공동의 이니셔티브를 위해 협력함에도 불구하고 더 우선시되는 주권국가의 이익은 사이버공간이라는 신(新)안보 영역에서의 갈등을 초래할 것이다. 이는 궁극적으로 사이버안보 전망의 구조적 변화를 부추긴다. 사이버공간 하에 한 국가의 정치적 행위가 결국 특수한 목적에 달려있음에 기인해 이 신(新)안보 영역의 이해에 앞서 지정학적 이익관계의 이해가 요구된다. 사이버 역량을 한 국가의 정치적 목적 달성의 수단으로 이용하려는 지난 십 년의 경향은 전통적 안보영역 차원에서 발생하던 일이 사이버공간에 또한 발생할 수 있음을 시사한다. 본 논문은 미국과 중국이 사이버안보 관련 어떠한 정부차원의 조치를 취하는 지 연구함에 목적을 둔다. 양국은 사이버 역량 발전에 국가적 투자를 아끼지 않을 뿐 아니라 동맹국들에게도 협력을 촉구하며 사이버공간이라는 신(新)안보영역에 가장 적극성을 띠는 국가이다. 미국의 2015년 사이버안보법과 중국의 2016년 사이버보안법을 비교 연구해 본 논문은 양국이 국내의 정보 인프라 보호를 위해 어떠한 법적 규제를 마련했는지 살펴보고자 한다. 또한 각국이 사이버공간에서 어떻게 국익을 행사하며 동시에 범지구적 차원의 사이버안보를 위해 어떠한 협력 매커니즘을 추구하는지 연구한다. 본 논문은 사이버안보를 미∙중 경쟁구도의 관점에서 재해석하며 더 나아가 거시적으로 사이버안보를 전망한다는 점에서 현재의 사이버안보 연구에 기여한다.I.

Framing the Internet in China: Cross-Cultural Comparisons of Newspapers’ Coverage in China, Hong Kong, Singapore, the United States, and the United Kingdom

This study introduced the framing theory, Shoemaker and Reese’s hierarchical model, and Hofstede’s cultural dimensions into a cross-cultural comparative analysis of news coverage of the Internet in China from 2000 to 2004 in selected newspapers in China, Hong Kong, Singapore, the United States and the United Kingdom. Significant differences were found to exist across the societies in both the salience of Internet-related issues and the usage of generic news frames. The issue of Internet diffusion and use was most frequently mentioned in the newspapers from China, Singapore, and the United Kingdom. The U.S. newspapers paid most attention to the issue of Internet censorship and regulations; whereas the issue of e-commerce and Internet business most frequently appeared in the newspapers from Hong Kong. In terms of generic news frames, the newspapers from China were significantly more likely to use the human interest, morality and leadership frames. The newspapers from Hong Kong mainly relied on the factual and economic consequences frames to report the Internet in mainland China. The U.S. and U.K. newspapers were distinct for their highly frequent usage of the conflict frame. This study also investigated how much variations in media framing could be explained by such national-level factors as freedom status and cultural dimensions across societies. Logistic regression models indicated that the patterns of influence varied across the societies with different types of news frames and their associations with different types of Internet-related issues. The cultural dimension of long-/short-term orientation was found to be a general factor influencing the presence of different types of news frames. In addition, a literature review of the changing Chinese media suggests that the Chinese press has become increasingly diversified in both structure and function. Therefore, another goal of the study was to test the influence of extramedia-level factors within a society by examining whether the framing of the Internet in the leading Party organ newspaper, the People’s Daily, would differ from the Beijing Youth Daily, a local newspaper with national influence and more financial and operational autonomy. They differed from each other in presenting the politically sensitive issue, Internet censorship and regulations

INFORMATION SYSTEMS RESEARCH IN CHINESE UNIVERSITIES: AN EXAMINATION OF THE INPUT SIDE

Along with the rapid growth of the Chinese economy over the past decades, information systems (IS) research in China has undergone a profound transformation. This exploratory study reports on a survey involving 107 university researchers, focusing on the input aspects of IS research and how institutional factors affect the input. In this paper, input mainly refers to research activities, effort, methods and reference disciplines. Data show researchers are withdrawing from IS development projects, while increasing their effort in academic research. Compared to the past, IS research topics are now more aligned to the international mainstream. A major hurdle for empirical research is the lack of familiarities with empirical research methodology, as indicated by nearly half of the respondents. Effort in academic research tends to correlate with the researchers\u27 income scheme, i.e., sources and proportion of base salary and benefits in their overall income. However, surprisingly, emphasis on quality of publication has not significantly influenced researchers\u27 effort yet, nor has the increased degree of internationalization affected the selection of research methods and the shift to empirical research. The underlying reasons are explored, and implications are also discussed
