Necessities for Advocating Cyberspace Sovereignty

Abstract

It is a realistic need to advocate cyberspace sovereignty. With the continuous extension of cyberspace, and the widespread popularization of various cyber technologies and their applications, all the behaviors in the physical society are naturally mapped into the cyberspace. For this reason, the management model of the physical society will naturally migrate to the cyberspace, only which is only different in the management method, but remains the same in its management goals. Therefore, it is inevitable in the future that the state sovereignty will be extended to cyberspace that people increasingly rely on. Keywords Conflicts on jurisdiction in cyberspace Á Shared interests in the same cyberspace Á New order in the cyberspace Á Co-governance of cyberspace Prior to the birth of modern sovereign nations, the size of territory was an important symbol of national strength, and the territory was one of the most basic elements of sovereign nations, so territory sovereignty became the core content of national sovereignty. However, due to the science and technology revolution, economic globalization, information revolution, new military revolution and many other reasons, element structure of geopolitics has been profoundly changed, and a three-dimensional national sovereignty concept, with politics, military, economy and culture as its core, has been formed. Particularly, the rapid development of the network enlarges the exercising space of state sovereignty. Territory is important to national sovereignty; however, due to the impact of network on geopolitics, the maintenance of political, military, economic and cultural sovereignty within the state has greatly crossed territorial boundaries, and the exercising space of state sovereignty has expanded from the traditional territorial boundaries to emerging "network boundaries", so the sovereignty maintenance in the network field has become the high ground of sovereign maintenance. The control of network information , and the exploitation and utilization of network resources will become the main source of national strength and the key of national interest. As stated by the American futurist Alvin Toffler, "The whole world belongs to the one who masters information and controls network".
