- W3181087403 abstract "The digital revolution has irreversibly changed the world. It has changed the way we communicate with one another, the way we consume information, the way we view the world, and the way we act. With so many changes to daily life, it is not surprising that the digital revolution has also had a great impact on society as a whole. As countries struggle to come to terms with the impact they face from the internet, many are desperately seeking governance solutions to reassert state control. Thus, the emergence of the cyber sphere has also provided global hegemons with a new battlefield, both for warfare and for influence. Although Western society has long lauded democracy as the best form of governance for nation-states and the preservation of individual liberties, this system may have become outdated in the digital era. The fast-paced, viral nature of information in the digital age has outpaced the slow, bureaucratic nature of democracy. By contrast, authoritarian regimes have been able to capitalize on this new age of technology to reassert their dominance on a global scale. Without the many complications of a representative system, authoritarian regimes are able to address cyber incidents nearly as quickly as they occur.This paper will seek to explore the viability of democracy in light of the challenges presented to it by the digital age. In particular, it will examine both the internal and external threats to sovereigns that have arisen as a result of the digital revolution. It will look at specific examples of domestic unrest caused by the lack of uniform online content regulation as well as the proliferation of criminal activity resulting from anonymized internet usage. In addition, it will demonstrate that the unclear bounds of the cyber sphere pose a unique threat to the exercise of national sovereignty and that the ubiquity of digital and internet technologies has created a growing threat to national security. In light of these developing threats, the paper will look at the US and other Western democracies in order to assess their ability to respond. It will show that such democratic systems are subtly eroding as a result of the digital revolution and have significantly expanded national security exceptions in order to have the flexibility necessary to compete with their authoritarian counterparts. As governance gaps have become ever more apparent, this paper will posit that authoritarian regimes, such as Russia and China, have risen to lead the charge in international fora. By advocating for cyber sovereignty and greater state control in the cyber sphere, these authoritarian powers have appealed to developing countries struggling to find their footing in this new world – offering them a set of tools with which to combat the threats unsettling them online. Ultimately, this analysis will demonstrate that the digital landscape has positioned authoritarian regimes to expand their global influence and will necessitate significant changes in the form and function of democracy going forward." @default.
