Abstract
Although early techno-utopian debates about whether states could and would control the internet have largely been put to rest, the underlying political theoretical issues about the proper place of territory in regulating digital technology have not been resolved, as seen in recent legal debates about regulating cloud computing corporations or the emerging literature on digital sovereignty. Alina Utrata argues that exploring how states and corporations negotiate control of the cloud can illuminate the proper place of territory in constituting state sovereignty as well as the “jurisdictional evasiveness” at the core of corporations’ power.
