This book constructs a multidisciplinary approach to human security questions related to digitalisation in the European High North i.e. the northernmost areas of Scandinavia, Finland and North-Western Russia. It challenges the mainstream conceptualisation of cybersecurity and reconstructs it with the human being as the referent object of security.

Scrutinises digitalisation and cybersecurity in Finland, Sweden, Norway and North-Western Russia from a human security perspective Depicts and analyses both positive (enabling) and negative (threatening) potentials residing in the regional digital development Gives the citizens and communities of the European High North a voice in matters related to cybersecurity Written for policy-makers, regulators and academics
