      In general terms, most practitioners share a working concept of cyberspace—it is the collection of computing devices connected by networks in which electronic information is stored and utilized, and communication takes ...

    • Control point analysis

      The purpose of this paper is to conceptualize the hitherto separate domains of Cyberspace and Interna- tional Relations into an integrated socio-technical system that we jointly call the cyber International Relations ...

    • Cyber international relations as an integrated system 

      Vaishnav, Chintan; Choucri, Nazli; Clark, David D. (© INCOSE, 2012-06-18)
      International Relations (IR) – whether in pursuit of wealth or power – have been traditionally predicated upon the dominance of the State and the effectiveness of geographical boundaries. The Internet has shattered these ...

    • Designing an Internet 

      Clark, David D. (© MIT Press, 2018)
      Why the Internet was designed to be the way it is, and how it could be different, now and in the future. How do you design an internet? The architecture of the current Internet is the product of basic design decisions ...

    • Diversity of user experience and alternative future internets 

      Clark, David D.; Hung, Shirley (Explorations in Cyber International Relations, 2012-11-06)
      One of the primary objectives of the ECIR project is to understand what forms the future Internet may take. This requires identification of the levers, constraints, and conditions under which each scenario may evolve.

    • The expressive power of the Internet design 

      Clark, David D. (© Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009-04-27)
      The present Internet is not defined in terms of its semantics, at least at the packet level. The loose packet carriage model of “what comes out is what went in” is intentionally almost semantics-free. The packets just carry ...

      Choucri, Nazli; Clark, David D. (© Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012-11-06)
      Cyberspace is a fact of daily life. Until recently cyberspace was considered largely a matter of low politics – the term used to denote background conditions and routine decisions and processes. By contrast high politics ...

    • International relations in the cyber age: The co-evolution dilemma 

      Choucri, Nazli; Clark, David D. (© MIT Press, 2019-04)
      In our increasingly digital world, data flows define the international landscape as much as the flow of materials and people. How is cyberspace shaping international relations, and how are international relations shaping ...

      Clark, David D.; Landau, Susan (© Association for Computing Machinery, New York, NY, USA, 2010-11-30)
      As a result of increasing spam, DDoS attacks, cybercrime, and data exfiltration from corporate and government sites, there have been multiple calls for an Internet architecture that enables better network attribution at ...

    • Three views of cyberspace 

      Clark, David D. (© Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011-01-05)
      The purpose of this paper is to draw attention to an important but perhaps under- appreciated aspect of the Internet: the emergent idea of a global commons in the use of the Internet, in which people might transcend national ...

    • Tools of engagement: Mapping the tussles in cyberspace 

      Clark, David D. (© Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012-03-12)

    • Toward the design of a future Internet 

      Clark, David D. (© Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009-10-10)
      This document is one very preliminary proposal for the design of a Future Internet—an outline of requirements and architecture. This document should only be seen as a first step in such a proposal; there are many parts ...

      Clark, David D.; Landau, Susan (© National Academy of Sciences, 2010-01-01)
      In February 2010, former NSA Director Mike McConnell wrote that, “We need to develop an early- warning system to monitor cyberspace, identify intrusions and locate the source of attacks with a trail of evidence that can ...
