Abstract
Abstract
Digital sovereignty has become a prominent yet contested concept in academic, policy, and public debate.In Information Systems (IS) research, it is increasingly discussed in relation to infrastructures, governance, platforms, and strategic dependence.Yet these discussions often foreground managerial, technical, and economic dimensions, while the geopolitical meaning of sovereignty remains less developed.This paper argues that digital sovereignty cannot be adequately understood if its political foundations remain peripheral to IS research.The concept concerns not only digital control, but also power dynamics, strategic autonomy, jurisdiction, resilience, and the capacity to act under conditions of geopolitical uncertainty.The paper therefore calls for stronger interdisciplinarity between IS and political science to support a more conceptually robust and practically relevant research agenda on digital sovereignty.
