THE SETTLEMENT OF COMPETITION BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES AND CHINA IN CYBERSPACE IN THE PERSPECTIVE OF LIBERALISM

Abstract

This research analyzes liberalism's theoretical view of the US-China cyber conflict with a focus on international cooperation frameworks, cyber ethical norms, and diplomatic mechanisms. The method used is a literature study with a liberalism theory approach to cyberwar. The goal is to find a solution to the U.S.-China rivalry through sustained efforts, strong commitment, and global cooperation. By seeing cyberwar as a common challenge, liberalism theory is expected to build a safer, fairer, and more cooperative cyber order. Research also considers the role of international institutions, the private sector, and civil society in the context of global cybersecurity. The research impact of this study may provide a foundation for further discussion of how liberalism theory can be applied in the context of global cybersecurity. This could stimulate further research and in-depth policy discussion on how to build a safer, fairer, and more cooperative cyber order.
