Analysing why states consider cyberspace as a matter of security and strategic concerns, it looks forward to a possible foundation of 'cyberpeace' in the international system. It examines the idea of cyber-territory, population, governance, and sovereignty, along with that of nation states referring to great, middle, and small powers.

The last section of the book examines the possibility of building peace in che cyber domain with the endeavours of the international community to safeguard cyber sovereignty and promote stability in the digital sphere.
