Abstract

The article is dedicated to defining the nature of information sovereignty and its significance for the process of independent state-building through the prism of the information society paradigm. Various methodological aspects of the concept of “information sovereignty” are studied. The ratio of the categories “state sovereignty” and “information sovereignty” is analyzed. The conclusion is made that the information sovereignty is not an independent category of constitutional law, however, the concept of state sovereignty needs to be modernized by integrating the classical and new information authority of the state, which are characteristic of the globalized information world.
