Resumo: | Economic strength, transatlantic relations and pragmatic assertiveness give Germany legitimacy as a central state for economic decision-making in the European Union. However, when it comes to security and defense issues, the country seems to place itself as a reluctant leader. Thus, its role of leader is challenged in the sphere of foreign and security policy. However, since the Snowden Case (2013), Germany stands out worldwide for leading projects with emphasis on the normative issue of cyberspace. Would Germany be a leading country in cybersecurity in Europe? The objective of the present study is to test the hypothesis thatGermany has a leading role in determining cyber threats in the European Union. As cyberspace has both material and immaterial aspects, the article seeks the optics of two theoretical approaches with different ontologies for testing the hypothesis: neoclassical realism and conventional constructivism. A single case research design is used, as it is conducive to deepening the research in terms not only empirical, but also theoretical. |

Germany as a Leader in Determining Cyber Threats in the European Union? Neoclassical realist and conventional constructivist viewsAlemanha como Líder na Determinação de Ameaças Cibernéticas na União Europeia? Neoclassical realist and conventional constructivist viewsEconomic strength, transatlantic relations and pragmatic assertiveness give Germany legitimacy as a central state for economic decision-making in the European Union. However, when it comes to security and defense issues, the country seems to place itself as a reluctant leader. Thus, its role of leader is challenged in the sphere of foreign and security policy. However, since the Snowden Case (2013), Germany stands out worldwide for leading projects with emphasis on the normative issue of cyberspace. Would Germany be a leading country in cybersecurity in Europe? The objective of the present study is to test the hypothesis thatGermany has a leading role in determining cyber threats in the European Union. As cyberspace has both material and immaterial aspects, the article seeks the optics of two theoretical approaches with different ontologies for testing the hypothesis: neoclassical realism and conventional constructivism. A single case research design is used, as it is conducive to deepening the research in terms not only empirical, but also theoretical. A robustez econômica, as relações transatlânticas e a assertividade pragmática conferem à Alemanha legitimidade como Estado central para a tomada de decisão econômica na União Europeia. Todavia, no tocante a questões securitárias e de defesa, o país parece se colocar como líder relutante. Assim, seu papel de líder é contestado na esfera da política externa e de segurança. Todavia, desde o Caso Snowden (2013) a Alemanha destaca-se mundialmente por liderar projetos com ênfase na questão normativa do ciberespaço. Seria a Alemanha um país líder na área da segurança cibernética na Europa? Visa-se, pois, testar a hipótesede que a Alemanha possui papel de liderança na determinação de ameaças cibernéticas na União Europeia. Como o ciberespaço possui aspectos materiais e imateriais, este artigo busca a ótica de duas abordagens teóricas com ontologias distintas para a testagem da hipótese: o realismo neoclássico e o construtivismo convencional. Utiliza-se desenho de pesquisa de caso único, pois ele é propício para o aprofundamento da pesquisa em termos não apenas empíricos, mas também teóricos.Associação Brasileira de Relações Internacionais (ABRI)2020-08-03info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdftext/htmlhttps://www.cartainternacional.abri.org.br/Carta/article/view/106310.21530/ci.v15n2.2020.1063Carta Internacional; Vol. 15 No. 2 (2020): Carta InternacionalCarta Internacional; Vol. 15 Núm. 2 (2020): Carta InternacionalCarta Internacional; v. 15 n. 2 (2020): Carta Internacional2526-903810.21530/ci.v15n2.2020reponame:Carta Internacional (Belo Horizonte.

However, since the Snowden Case (2013), Germany stands out worldwide for leading projects with emphasis on the normative issue of cyberspace. Would Germany be a leading country in cybersecurity in Europe? The objective of the present study is to test the hypothesis thatGermany has a leading role in determining cyber threats in the European Union.
