ПРОТИВОБОРСТВО СФЕР СИЛЫ В ВОПРОСАХ УПРАВЛЕНИЯ В ИНФОРМАЦИОННОМ ПРОСТРАНСТВЕ

Abstract

The article deals with the problem of Internet governance in the context of international information security, which is quite new for political theory and international law, on a systematic basis. The advanced development of the technical base of the Internet, the attitude of the absolute majority of users to it as to new, powerful means of communication, without taking into account the conceptually inherent threats and risks, including political and even military ones, sharply complicate the creation of an international system of control over its use. Considered as a generalized concept, the Internet still does not have a clear definition. At the same time, even "advanced" Internet users rarely go beyond the knowledge that these resources, being included in open information networks and using the capabilities of public global communication networks, allow the storage, processing and exchange of information in a telecommunication mode. The question of who and how controls this process is not of interest to many. This uncertainty of the Internet environment is actively used by a number of states and IT corporations to solve their problems at the expense of the common good and public safety. Moreover, attempts to build a system of law in the Internet space as the development of the existing system of international security meets with resistance. As a result of the analysis of the practice of building an Internet governance system based on the principle of multistakeholderism, the presented article shows that this component of global communication in its current form, although it is caused by natural social and technical processes, acts in the interests of the United States and carries the potential of threats to peoples and countries. whose government policy does not allow Washington to classify them as "democratic" and "friendly". The recent Twitter revolutions are examples of this. Among the goals of their organizers today are the states of the Caspian region and the South of Russia. Accompanying and facilitating globalization, the Internet creates new opportunities and new, including strategic, risks. There are still no international legal mechanisms to prevent them. The development of the latter is an urgent task of modern law and diplomacy.
