Abstract

The concept of sovereignty, like the concept of power, has been one of the key concepts that politicians, statesmen and thinkers have thought about, tried to define, conceptualize and draw the general framework since the emergence of the state. The concept of sovereignty, which has developed in connection with the change and development process of the state over time, has become a more prominent and considered concept, especially after the new nation-state-centered system that emerged after the Westphalia international system. This concept, which preoccupies thinkers, politicians and statesmen, has become questionable and debatable in the modern age, especially as world politics has changed following developments in the field of communication and processes such as Globalization. In order to overcome this process, the concept of Sovereignty has also changed, and in order to meet the conditions of the new era, a new concept emerged, called Cyber Sovereignty.

Siber Egemenlik Konusu

Abstract

Egemenlik kavramı, iktidar kavramı gibi devletin ortaya çıkışından bu yana gerek siyasetçileri, gerek devlet adamlarını gerekse de düşünürlerin üzerinde düşündüğü, yorum yaptığı, tanımlamaya ve kavramsallaştırmaya ve genel çerçevesini çizmeye çalıştığı kavramlardan birisi olmuştur. Zaman içerisinde devletin geçirdiği değişim ve gelişim süreci ile irtibatlı olarak gelişen egemenlik kavramı özellikle Westphalia uluslararası sistemi sonrasında ortaya çıkan ulus devlet merkezli yeni sistem sonrasında daha da ön plana çıkan ve üzerinde düşünülen bir kavram olmuştur. Düşünürleri, siyasetçileri ve devlet adamlarını meşgul eden bu kavram, modern çağda, özellikle iletişim alanında yaşanan gelişmeler ve Küreselleşme gibi süreçler sonrasında dünya siyasetinin değiştiği, dünyanın daha küçük ve ulaşılabilir hale geldiği günümüzde, sorgulanır ve tartışılır hale gelmiştir. Bu süreci aşmak adına Egemenlik kavramı da değişim geçirmiş, yeni dönemin şartlarına adapte olmak için, internet sayesinde sanal bir evrenin ortaya çıktığı ve hızla geliştiği bu dönemde karşısına çıkan meydan okumaları karşılamak adına Sanal-Siber Egemenlik olarak adlandırılan bir kavramla karşılık vermiştir.
