Abstract(s)
A 6 de agosto de 1991, há 21 anos atrás, a World Wide Web ficou disponível mundialmente, havendo agora quase 4.3 biliões de pessoas a utilizá-la diariamente. Com ela, vieram diferentes vantagens, tais como a capacidade de resolver problemas burocráticos através de um clique, ou a facilidade de procura de informação, bem como a proximidade e globalização que permite acontecer. No entanto, existe sempre ‘’o outro lado da moeda’’.
Ultimamente, o investimento em armamento e forças militares, além da corrida ao poder nuclear têm vindo a decrescer, face ao que outrora foi, uma vez que os governos cada vez mais têm a plena noção de que tais custos implicam grandes endividamentos, e um peso insuportável, não só a nível económico, como também a nível de recursos humanos. No entanto, e com o evoluir da tecnologia e internet, é possível travar guerras
e atacar inimigos silenciosamente.
Tenciona-se investigar e aprofundar o fenómeno que é a internet e o impacto que os problemas advindos da mesma causam nos dias de hoje, nomeadamente nas relações internacionais. Serão analisados, por isso, e com maior detalhe e rigor o ciberterrorismo, o ciberespaço e, por consequência, a cibersegurança, no âmbito da matéria em vista.
O período temporal que será alvo de estudo nesta dissertação vai desde a primeira guerra cibernética em 1999, até às eleições de Donald Trump em 2016, estendendo-se até aos dias de hoje.
Pretende-se compreender o porquê da mudança e opção pelo ciberterrorismo nas últimas décadas e o impacto do mesmo nas relações internacionais atualmente. Dado que não se trata só de ataques internacionais, mas até mesmo de pessoas coletivas face ao estado, ou outras entidades coletivas, será oportuno estudar os vários casos possíveis e marcantes em que tais situações aconteceram.
ABSTRACT: On August 6, 1991, 21 years ago, the World Wide Web became available worldwide, with nearly 4.3 billion people now using it daily. With it came different advantages, such as the ability to solve bureaucratic problems with a click, or the ease of searching for information, as well as the proximity and globalization that allows this to happen. However, everything has “the other side of the coin”. Lately, investment in armaments and military forces, in addition to the race for nuclear power, has been decreasing, compared to what it used to be, since governments are increasingly aware that such costs imply large indebtedness, and a weight unbearable, not only economically, but also in terms of human resources. However, and with the evolution of technology and internet, it is possible to wage wars and attack enemies silently. It is intended to investigate and deepen the phenomenon that is the internet and the impact that the problems arising from it cause nowadays, namely in international relations. Therefore, cyberterrorism, cyberspace and, consequently, cybersecurity will be analyzed in greater detail and rigor, within the scope of the matter in question. The time period that will be studied in this dissertation ranges from the first cyber war in 1999, to the Donald Trump elections in 2016, extending to the present day. It is intended to understand why the change and option for cyberterrorism in recent decades and its impact on international relations today. Given that it is not just about international attacks, but even about legal persons against the state, or other legal entities, it will be opportune to study the various possible and remarkable cases in which such situations occurred.
