In this chapter, we examine the evolving norms of responsible state behavior in cyberspace by analyzing national strategies, international diplomatic processes, and the contributions of diverse stakeholders. It discusses how major powers such as the US and the Sino-Russian bloc are formulating their cyber strategies, the role of UN GGE processes and regional security organizations in norm-building, and how non-state actors like the ICRC, civil society, and private companies are influencing the debate, while also outlining prospects for future cooperative frameworks.
