Since World War II, control over land, sea, air and space has been essential to projecting national power. During the past two decades, the domain of cyberspace has emerged; it is the new frontier for wielding the four instruments of power – diplomacy, information, military and economics. The pervasiveness of cyberspace supports near instantaneous action in all the domains of human power – land, sea, air, space and cyberspace. Could cyberspace be the one domain to rule them all?This paper draws on recognized theories of power in the physical world to create a lens for projecting and analyzing the future of cyberpower and cyber powers, helping clarify the nature of cyberspace and the entities that interact in cyberspace. The paper considers nation-states as well as non-state actors, and examines how they might operate, evolve and wield power in cyberspace. Also, it discusses power scenarios that may emerge in the cyberspace of the future.
