About ECIR

ECIR is a collaborative and interdisciplinary research program that seeks to create a field of international cyber relations for the 21st century.  It is designed as a theoretically rich, and technically informed initiative anchored in diverse tools and methods to identify, measure, model, interpret, and analyze emergent issues, challenges, and responses.

We understand cyberspace as the ever-growing pervasive, international, digital networks that:

• Enable new strategic interactions among nation states and other actors that can affect national security and well-being;
• Stimulate competition and collaboration among the actors concerning Internet management and control;
• Transform social, economic, political, scientific and cultural activities in ways that change the strategic capabilities of the actors;
• Call for innovative modes of management and offer varying potentials for “governance.”

The ECIR research plan integrates social sciences, legal studies, computer science, and policy analysis. The research team brings together personnel and institutional resources from MIT and Harvard.
