In the past decade, the concept of digital sovereignty has become one of the most debated and contested themes in contemporary foreign policy, challenging classical models of state authority. In a world where power is no longer solely territorial but increasingly infrastructural, technological, and algorithmic, states face the paradox of a digital space that belongs simultaneously to everyone and to no one. While traditional diplomacy operates through well-defined borders, the internet and global data ecosystems evolve beyond jurisdiction, making national control an increasingly elusive objective.
Within this context, digital sovereignty is not merely an issue of domestic regulation; it is a strategic dimension of foreign policy in which states attempt to safeguard their technological autonomy in a global arena dominated by transnational corporations, international standards designed by major powers, and infrastructural architectures that often lie outside their direct control.
