Abstract: The production of digital borders and the development of digital sovereignty have effects that are felt within the bordered digital spaces and outside of them. Digital borders are not just national borders, and the effects of digital borders can be analysed at a multitude of geographical scales, from the regional to the neighbourhood, and from the national territory to the bordered and bounded instant messaging group. The contributions to this special issue reveal the diverse ways in which borders and sovereignty are developed as well as how these processes are contested in ways that call into question pre-existing conceptualisations of digital relations, particularly the understanding of the internet as borderless.
