Since the Stuxnet computer virus targeted Iran’s nuclear program in 2010, cybersecurity has assumed new urgency on the global security agenda. Ever increasing reliance on computers and computer networks will only heighten fears of cyberattack. John Arquilla, who coined the term, places cyberwar in the context of conflict, generally, and contemplates a future “replete with cyberwars.” As a result, Howard Schmidt explains, U.S. cybersecurity strategy is critical. Jason Healey proposes a solution to a significant barrier to combating cyberattacks—attribution, and Martin Libicki questions the potential for cyberwar to be a destabilizing force.

The current $15 billion estimated cost for Britain to host the 2012 Summer Olympics is nearly $10 billion more than its original bid. It is not the first time Britain has struggled financially to make the Olympics a reality--war-torn London hosted the 1948 Olympics--and with a stagnant economy and the highest unemployment in 17 years, there is wide disagreement over whether this is a sound financial investment.

Access to clean water and to modern sanitation is dwindling. We must redouble existing efforts at cholera prevention and care—case-finding and treatment, water and sanitation projects, education and surveillance—while simultaneously integrating vaccination into the ongoing response.
Politique Internationale - La Revue
Ce Numéro d'Hiver s'ouvre sur le très substantiel entretien que nous a accordé Nicolas Sarkozy. Un entretien dans lequel le chef de l'État, sans jamais recourir à la « langue de bois », dresse le bilan de la politique étrangère qu'il conduit ou inspire depuis cinq ans, réaffirme les grands principes auxquels s'adosse son action, et éclaire les chemins de l'avenir. Sur les faits, les idées et les hommes, le Président s'exprime sans détour. Nous nous réjouissons qu'il ait choisi notre Revue pour rappeler ce qu'est une diplomatie volontariste, par gros temps comme par temps calme. Nos lecteurs découvriront également, dans cette livraison d'Hiver, les analyses de deux personnalités éminentes de la scène internationale :
