Write a research paper that examines that examine cyber war and cyber-attacks.

hybrid assignment – part analytical book review and part research paper. The basics are simple. Read the following book: Thomas Rid. Cyber War Will Not Take Place (Oxford University Press, 2017). Rid’s argument is in his title. While many people think the development of cyber weapons – computer based forms of attack – will fundamentally change the nature of international conflict as much as nuclear weapons had, Rid disagrees. Your assignment is simple: what do you think? Is Rid right or wrong?You’ll make your argument by researching the issue (using a minimum of ten sources). That makes this assignment both an analytical book review and a research paper. The analytical part is your assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of Rid’s argument. Your analysis will be based on the research you’ve done on the subject. Your paper will look something like this. Introduction: Summarize your paper in about a paragraph to a page. Very important (see below on how to write a good Political Science introductory paragraph) · Rid’s argument: Summarize his ideas in about 2-3 pages. · Why he’s right/Why he’s wrong: Here you’re making your argument. Choose 2-3 issues to focus on. Explain how these issues/arguments support of challenge Rid’s conclusions. . Conclusion: re-summarize your argument and state the implications of it. If Rid is right, then we don’t have to worry as much or maybe we have to worry about it in a different way. If Rid is wrong, then are we taking cyber war as seriously as we need to? .Your research task is to find good sources (see below) that examine cyber war and cyber-attacks. This is where you’ll find out what all the arguments are. Scholars and policy makers are debating these issues. Your research will allow you to understand that debate, explain it to me, and make a judgment based on your new expertise. In short, the assignment isn’t for you to just logic this out by yourself. There are ongoing debates. Your research is designed for you to show me that you understand what that debate is about. Your citations of other people’s ideas and arguments allow anyone who reads your paper to find out more about all the ideas in your paper. I do want your ideas, but I want to see everyone else’s ideas too. http://www.creativante.com.br/download/Cyber%20War.pdfI
