互联网的诞生点燃数字革命,带动全球政治经济文明飞速发展。网络的全球性与虚拟性侵蚀了传统国家主权,主权国家的领土管辖理念和政治、经济、文化权能受到削弱,数据主权跨越物理空间与网络空间应运而生。因虚拟空间地域边界模糊,其类别从传统主权以国界来划分对内主权与对外主权,演进为以国家强制力的彰显强弱为标准划分为硬数据主权和软数据主权。以此二者为原点,可进一步构造数据主权之谱系,前者包含独立权、平等权、管辖权以及自卫权,后者以治理权为基准囊括技术标准制定权、网络文化治理权和多边协商治理权。二者具有弹性、层次性、双重性、复合性的基本特性,均以主权独立和平等为根本原则,以全球互联网共享共治为前提。构建数据主权谱系旨在界定主体与规范,更好地维护主权国家人民利益和国家安全,同时积极寻求数字空间的战略合作,实现安全、经济、高效等数据主权的多重功能性目标。
Outline of Data Sovereignty Genealogies

Abstract The birth of the Internet ignited the digital revolution and drove the rapid development of global political and economic civilization. The global and virtual nature of the network has eroded traditional national sovereignty, weakened the concept of territorial jurisdiction and political, economic, and cultural power of sovereign countries, and data sovereignty has emerged across physical space and cyberspace. Due to the ambiguity of its geographical boundaries, the categories of virtual space have evolved from internal sovereignty and external sovereignty, which are traditionally divided by national borders, to hard data sovereign‐ ty and soft data sovereignty, which are based on the strength of national coercive power. The genealogies of data sovereignty can be further constructed by taking these two as the starting point. The former includes the right to independence, equality, jurisdiction, and self-defense, while the latter, based on the right of governance, includes the right to formulate technical standards, the right to the governance of network culture, and the right to multilateral consultation and governance. The two have the basic characteristics of elasticity, hierarchy, duality, and complexity. Both are based on the fundamental principles of sovereignty, independence, equality, and the premise of global Internet sharing and co-governance. Building a data sovereignty genealogy aims to define subjects and norms, better safeguard the interests of the people and national security of sovereign countries, and actively seek strategic cooperation in digital space to achieve the multiple functional goals of data sovereignty such as security, economy, and efficiency.
