Abstract

In the face of the rising political stake associated with the Internet, states are increasingly vying for a bigger role in its governance. Within a climate of an array of threats associated with the online information space, the attention is turning towards the governance of the internet infrastructure itself, comprising both the physical (the collection of cables computers, servers and routers that make up the network) and the virtual infrastructure (protocols, social media platforms and search engines that make it possible to navigate and use the internet). The question of sovereignty is not only increasingly reflected in the legislation of political actors like Russia, but also recently in EU discourse in relation to technological resilience and cyber security. This article aims to map out the impact of the securitisation of the internet infrastructure in the Russian and the EU approach to internet governance.
