Using Japan and Australia as case studies, it argues that both states continue to adhere to the conceptual tenets of cyber diplomacy, however, in practice, there is a growing integration of deterrence-cyber capabilities and public attribution/naming and shaming-in the equation at varying degrees and intensities. The article endeavours to make two important contributions: First, revitalize the existing cyber diplomacy framework by challenging the extant literature's view of deterrence's limited application-underpinned by cold war analogies-and the implausibility of conducting attribution of cyberattacks. Secondly, evaluate Japan and Australia's cyber diplomacy based on empirical evidence UR - https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/10357718.2021.1926423 ER -
