Abstract Cyber technology gradually is becoming an important dimension of globalisation involving state and non-state actors. The diffusion of cyber technology has occurred in tandem with political and economic transformations resulting from the transition to neoliberalism and its associated features of privatisation and deregulation. This process of transformation is not uniform across the globe. The article analyzes how Israel’s role in the Middle East and beyond relies heavily on its private high-tech sector to recruit private companies to carry out the colonial functions of its military rule over the Palestinians, and in reshaping its relationship with some of the Arab Gulf states in their attempts to confront Iran. While at the economic level, private securitization is reaping tremendous profits, the Israeli state remains in control of the core military and political aspects of contracting out and privatising such services. However, with weak international oversight for the deployment of surveillance technology, privatisation is wreaking havoc by disrupting democratic norms and threatening civil society.

定居者殖民主义，新自由主义和网络监视：以色列的案例

摘要网络技术逐渐成为涉及国家和非国家行为者的全球化的重要方面。网络技术的扩散与向新自由主义的过渡及其私有化和放松管制的相关特征引起的政治和经济变革同时发生。这种转变过程在全球范围内并不统一。文章分析了以色列在中东及其他地区的作用如何严重依赖其私营高科技部门来招募私营公司来履行其对巴勒斯坦人的军事统治的殖民职能，以及如何重塑与阿拉伯海湾一些国家的关系国家试图与伊朗对抗。在经济层面上，私人证券化正在获得丰厚的利润，以色列国仍然控制着将这些服务外包和私有化的核心军事和政治方面。但是，由于国际上对部署监视技术的监督不力，私有化正在破坏民主规范并威胁民间社会，从而造成严重破坏。
