Abstract

Abstract

We must closely study the balance of interests within the AUKUS alliance, and the role of cyber diplomacy in this game of interests and power. Knowing that the alliance is constrained to address the challenges and issues of global instability, it primarily aims to strengthen the members' capabilities in cybersecurity and cyber defense. At this point, the desired balance among the members raises several questions and concerns. Regulatory frameworks, national interests, geopolitical and strategic issues, hegemony, and U.S. dominance all seem to be obstacles to the harmony and coherence of the alliance in achieving its objectives. In our study, we examine how the members manage these difficulties to eliminate obstacles to decision-making and deep cooperation. We also hope to understand how these states manage to maintain their sovereignties while contributing coherently and effectively to the alliance's collective cybersecurity strategy. Respect for national interests and the avoidance of establishing a hegemonic paradigm, etc., will be the main questions to examine in this work with a view to serving as a model for strengthening global cybersecurity and cyber governance.
