Technology generates a new kind of terrorism which is called as cyber terrorism. Cyber terrorism is not only a tool for propaganda of traditional terrorism, but also a logic embedded in the cyber space. Cyber terrorism needs more attention for the security of “e-government” in terms of not only at national level, but also at international level. So the main purpose of this article is to study the interaction between “e-government” and cyber terrorism in the context of Actor Network Theory which provides a model and general frame for participatory democracy. For this reason, it is firstly explained what “e-government actually is. Afterwards, cyber terrorism is defined by generating a new one. Methodologically speaking, descriptive analysis has been made in defining and understanding “e-government”, and a new definition for cyber terrorism has been generated by the method of induction. Finally, the interaction between “e-government” and cyber terrorism has been debated in the context of Actor Network Theory through the method of deduction in addition to the conclusions related to some prevention and advices. These measures and recommendations include the recruitment of qualified personnel, institutional capacity development, government support for brand antivirus software, cyber risk insurance, global cooperation and the creation of ethical codes.

E-Devlet ve Siber Terörizm: Kavramsal Çerçeve, Teorik Tartışmalar ve Olası Çözümler

Öz

Teknoloji, siber terörizm olarak nitelenen yeni bir tür terörizm ortaya çıkarıyor. Geleneksel manada terörizm için sadece bir propaganda aracı değil, ama aynı zamanda siber alana gömülü bir mantığı ifade eden siber terörizm, hem ulusal hem de uluslararası düzeyde, e-devletin güvenliği için daha fazla dikkat gerektiriyor. Bu nedenle, bu çalışmanın amacı, katılımcı demokrasi için bir model ve genel çerçeve sunan Aktör Ağ kuramı çerçevesinde, e-devlet ve siber terörizm arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemektir. Bu amaçla öncelikle e-devletin ne olduğu açıklanmış, ardından yeni bir tanım üretilerek siber terörizm tanımlanmıştır. Metodolojik açıdan konuşmak gerekirse, e-devleti tanımlamada ve anlamada betimsel bir analiz yapılmış olup, siber terörizm açısından da ilgili değişkenler dikkate alındığında tümevarım yöntemiyle yeni bir siber terörizm tanımı üretilmiştir. Son olarak Aktör Ağ Kuramı bağlamında, e-devlet ve siber terörizm arasındaki etkileşim, tümdengelim aracılığıyla tartışılmış ve nihayet bazı tespit, önlem ve tavsiyelere ilişkin düşüncelere yer verilmiştir. Bu önlem ve tavsiyeler; uzman personel istihdamı, kurumsal kapasitenin geliştirilmesi, marka antivirüs yazılımları için devlet desteği, siber risk sigortası, küresel işbirliği ve etik kodların oluşturulmasını içermektedir.
