| Summary/Abstract |
Over the last several years, it has become apparent that the domains facilitating all international interaction-sea, air, space, and cyberspace-are increasingly congested, contested, and complex. These domains constitute the connective tissue of an ever more interconnected international system. It should, therefore, come as no surprise that the level of activity and investment by both state and non-state actors is rapidly increasing. Satellites are being launched, submarines are being built, long-range aircraft procured, and powerful cyberspace capabilities are being maintained by states that only two decades ago were just beginning to employ rudimentary computer systems. Non-state actors, ranging from pirates off Somalia to cyber "hacktivists" to the growing number of commercial players that own and operate satellites, further complicate this landscape.
