State sovereignty in the information (digital) space: doctrinal and legislative approaches

ALFEROVA E.V.

The concept of State sovereignty includes an understanding of such constituent elements as the supreme power and territory. Based on the analysis of new publications on cyberspace and sovereignty, this review shows how these key properties of the state operate on the Internet. The debate on information (digital) sovereignty in cyberspace reflects different ideas and practices on this issue. Scientists consider the role and importance of state sovereignty in determining the legal status of cyberspace. It is argued that the concept of digital sovereignty does not dilute the classical concept of «state sovereignty», but only reflects the challenges to state independence emanating from various sources of international competition. State sovereignty is as the basis for regulating interstate relations in the ICT environment
