Summary: This collection investigates the sharpening conflict between the nation state and the internet through a multidisciplinary lens. It challenges the idea of an inherently global internet by examining its increasing territorial fragmentation and, conversely, the notion that for states online law and order is business as usual. Differences in cultural, political and economic norms have incentivised virtual borders in the West; the nation state is asserting itself.
