Primes

• Governance
  • Internet and technical standards: IETF rough consensus, W3C working groups, RFC process, domain name governance (ICANN), IP address allocation (RIRs), protocol specification and change management—an emergent multi-stakeholder regime Mueller (2010) analyzes as a transnational governance order layered atop the nation-state system.

    This sourceAnalyzes how the transnational Internet generates new authority structures and transnational institutions (ICANN, IGF, RIRs) that overlap and contest with territorial nation-state sovereignty, supporting the multi-stakeholder governance-order claim.

• Sovereignty
  • Data sovereignty under cloud computing. Data sovereignty asserts that information within a jurisdiction is subject to that jurisdiction's laws, even if the physical infrastructure or controlling company is located elsewhere, an extension of state authority into cyberspace that Mueller (2010) traces in the rise of "networks and states" as overlapping authority structures.

    This sourceAnalyzes how digital networks generate new authority structures that overlap and contest with state sovereignty; foundational text for the concept of digital and informational sovereignty.
