PROTECTING NATIONAL SOVEREIGNTY IN CYBERSPACE WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF DIGITAL GLOBALIZATION - REGULATIONS OF SOME COUNTRIES AND PROPOSALS
Apstrakt
The explosive growth of digital technologies is creating a virtual and borderless environment, which is so-called “cyberspace”. In addition to serving as a platform that allows digital communication, information sharing, and online activities to take place, cyberspace carries various risks and vulnerabilities that can pose significant challenges to individuals, organizations, and even the nation. Throughout history, international law has built the concept of state sovereignty based on material aspects. However, digital globalization has significantly changed social relations, challenging important legal concepts that underlie international relations, including the concept of national sovereignty. Therefore, the issue of national sovereignty in cyberspace needs to be studied more carefully, thereby seeking appropriate solutions to protect national sovereignty in cyberspace.
