The paper analyzes the “global undersea cable communication infrastructure and its implications for international security”. The author emphasizes that the number of landing points in a country is not solely based on factors like the amount of coastline or its cable links connecting to other countries, but rather the country’s “structural position in the network” and “socio-political cohesion”. Therefore “political and economic motivations” can prevent the number of landing points from “diversifying”. Countries that want to control citizens’ access to information can limit the number of landing points and put global undersea communications infrastructure at risk. Furthermore, when comparing countries with their landing points, countries with fewer landing points and high betweenness are at a higher risk of compromising cable infrastructure. By diversifying landing points, the global undersea cable communications infrastructure can improve.
