商品描述

This book begins with an examination of the internet as a central institution of the post-Cold War liberal order. From this starting point, Johannes Thumfart analyzes the contemporary rise of digital sovereignty in Asia and Europe, alongside the establishment of private government within digital networks. He interprets these phenomena as indications of an emerging postliberal era. Thumfart engages with a wide array of empirical research and assesses liberal ideals such as state and net neutrality by discussing thinkers like Hegel, Schmitt, Mouffe, Taylor, Sandel, Fukuyama, Anderson, and Jasanoff, as well as network and rational choice theories. He contends that the internet's reification of liberal values has, paradoxically, subverted these values and catalyzed the transition to postliberalism. Thumfart suggests that instead of adhering to the traditional liberal focus on neutrality, states should adopt a more flexible approach of neutralization to respond to the complexities of this digital and postliberal era.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書首先探討了網際網路作為後冷戰自由秩序的核心機構。從這個起點出發,Johannes Thumfart 分析了亞洲和歐洲當代數位主權的興起,以及在數位網絡中建立的私人政府。他將這些現象解釋為新興的後自由主義時代的指標。Thumfart 涉及了廣泛的實證研究,並通過討論黑格爾(Hegel)、施密特(Schmitt)、穆夫(Mouffe)、泰勒(Taylor)、桑德爾(Sandel)、福山(Fukuyama)、安德森(Anderson)和賈薩諾夫(Jasanoff)等思想家,以及網絡和理性選擇理論,評估了國家和網絡中立性等自由主義理想。他主張,網際網路對自由價值的具象化,矛盾地顛覆了這些價值,並催化了向後自由主義的過渡。Thumfart 建議,國家應該採取更靈活的中立化方法,以應對這個數位和後自由主義時代的複雜性,而不是堅持傳統自由主義對中立性的關注。
