摘要：Nationality and sovereignty in a global economy have become conflicted and contested principles. The control of territory and population, which classically was the basis of sovereignty, is eroding in transnational flows of capital, labor, products, and ideas. Given how rapidly cyberspaces are forming from the fusion of computers with wired and wireless telecommunication networks all over the world, we need to investigate the political, economic and social questions being raised by this process. Cyberspace is not a notion about things to come; it marks the material condition of things at work today. It is now important to ask how, why, and where cyberspaces are transforming the everyday life of contemporary economies, societies and states. But the best way to do this is to illuminate first how the terms of nationality and sovereignty are shifting in the present New World Order.
