Abstract

The present article is trying to bring into attention the new concept of cyberization of IR, by argumenting the importance of cyberspace and the instruments that it provides for the scholars and practitioners for a new international relations typology. The constructivist approach is used for the notion of state responsibility, for underlying the behavior of a state in cyberspace. The necessity of an international cyberspace policy is evidenced, as well as the proposed international norms for assuring the cybersecurity. The open international cyberspace will challenge national sovereignty and the state leaders will have to find ways of responding to this continuous and sophisticated threats that appeared recently.
