Outline of Final Research Achievements

This initial study provided a comprehensive overview of Japanese initiatives in international cybersecurity cooperation and the strengthening of cyber diplomacy. The main focus was Japan's cooperation with the European Union and many of its member states, and NATO. The findings demonstrate the successful development and implementation of cyber norms and rules such as "Data Free Flow with Trust" (DFFT) and the EU GDPR, the importance of cyber capacity building especially in ASEAN and African countries, technical and practical cooperation between government agencies, CERTs, development assistance organizations, facilitating the fight against cybercrime through law enforcement and technical training. The challenges of cyber attacks can also serve as the first policy coordination field for still-developing challenges like artificial intelligence (AI) or quantum computing. This research project has developed a better theoretical model on cyber deterrence and security partnerships.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

This study developed a better understanding and a theoretical model of how cyber attacks, cybercrime, and other emerging technologies have begun to undermine national and international security, classical deterrence, alliance dynamics, and international norms and rules.
