Abstract

The recent history of the nation states actions to promote mechanisms to establish a normative jurisprudence for cyberspace and the Internet regulation in the twentieth century became ideologically justified by the Internet growing influence on sovereignty and in their everyday social relations. This controlling action, which is still maintained by the U.S., affects a wide range issues that concern the sovereignty, security, infrastructure, economy, geopolitics, education, citizenship, privacy, democracy, imperialism digital, inter alia.
Therefore, this paper aims, first, to analyze the Internet social uses impacts in the nation states sovereignty, and secondly, to examine how the political authority and control system historically has been imposed by the U.S. in the Internet root zone; in third, to investigate the actions and interference of the current political actors to establish a new global regulatory structure based on an Internet multilateral management system.
