В статье исследуется цифровой суверенитет как формирующаяся правовая категория, находящаяся на пересечении государственной юрисдикции и частной платформенной власти. Авторы предлагают дифференцированный подход, в рамках которого цифровой суверенитет анализируется через призму трех сфер правового регулирования: территориальной, сетевой и алгоритмической. Рассматриваются правовые модели Европейского союза, Соединенных Штатов Америки, а также стран Глобального Юга – Индии, Бразилии, Казахстана и Малайзии, демонстрирующих различные подходы к формированию нормативной автономии и контролю над цифровыми потоками. Обосновывается необходимость переосмысления суверенитета как гибкой и функциональной юридической конструкции, ориентированной на обеспечение нормативной подотчетности цифровых субъектов, транспарентности алгоритмических систем и развитие механизмов совместного регулирования. В заключение предложены направления юридической конкретизации цифрового суверенитета в условиях фрагментированной нормативной среды и растущей конкуренции между государственными и корпоративными интересами.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>Amid the transformation of the global digital order and the growing influence of transnational platforms, traditional understandings of state sovereignty are undergoing significant reconsideration. This article examines digital sovereignty as an emerging legal category situated at the intersection of state jurisdiction and private platform power. The authors propose a differentiated framework in which digital sovereignty is analyzed through three domains of legal regulation: territorial, network, and algorithmic. The article explores legal models developed in the European Union, the United States, and selected countries of the Global South, including India, Brazil, Kazakhstan, and Malaysia, which illustrate diverse approaches to building normative autonomy and exercising control over digital flows. The paper argues for the need to reconceptualize sovereignty as a flexible and functional legal construct aimed at ensuring regulatory accountability of digital actors, algorithmic transparency, and the advancement of co-regulation mechanisms. Finally, it outlines directions for the regulatory structuring of digital sovereignty in the context of a fragmented normative landscape and increasing tensions between governmental authority and corporate influence.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>цифровой суверенитет</kwd><kwd>государственная юрисдикция</kwd><kwd>платформенная власть</kwd><kwd>транснациональная платформа</kwd><kwd>нормативная подотчетность</kwd><kwd>алгоритмическое регулирование</kwd><kwd>территориальный контроль</kwd><kwd>сетевое управление</kwd><kwd>искусственный интеллект</kwd><kwd>кибербезопасность</kwd><kwd>цифровое право</kwd><kwd>совместное регулирование</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>digital sovereignty</kwd><kwd>state jurisdiction</kwd><kwd>platform power</kwd><kwd>transnational platform</kwd><kwd>regulatory accountability</kwd><kwd>algorithmic governance</kwd><kwd>territorial control</kwd><kwd>network governance</kwd><kwd>artificial intelligence (AI)</kwd><kwd>cybersecurity</kwd><kwd>digital rights</kwd><kwd>co-regulation</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Mueller, M.L.
