On the 30th of April 1993 the World Wide Web and its\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eunderlying technology was made freely available to use by anyone. Today over one\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ebillion people use the Internet, or every sixth person on the planet. A collective brain\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eone might say is forming in front of our eyes growing with every new person entering\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethree W¿s into a web browser.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile Ruggie aimed to search for, and investigate into, a fundamental transformation\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eof the modern system of states, he emphasized that such an analysis would find a\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003efruitful starting point in the [re]conceptualisation of territoriality. This paper will\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eutilize Ruggie¿s concept, by applying its analysis to the emerging and manifesting\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003espace-time implosion driven by the Internet and other communication technologies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTherefore, it is argued that Cyberspace provides a practical sphere to investigate into\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethe unbundling of territoriality in a postmodern world. In the first section the impact on territoriality resulting from the emergence of the\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCyberspace will be discussed. Ruggie¿s model of differentiation between systems of\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003erule and territory is applied to explain the transformation of territory in the\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003epostmodern era of Cyberspace. It is followed by an investigation into the\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003econsequences of Cyberspace on sovereignty. Showing that Cyberspace does indeed\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eprovide a new stage in Ruggie¿s terms, facilitating an unbundling and relocation of\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003esovereignty away from state territory. The third section discusses the implication of\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethe virtual space on the rise and acceleration of globalisation. It is argued that\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eglobalisation, could not be perceived as a postmodern phenomenon without the\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCyberspace revolution. The last part of the paper, proposes the need to rethink the\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003enotion of movement in the age of virtual and real spaces. Cyberspace allows ¿tourists¿\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ein line with Bauman¿s description to choose between virtual and real movement. The\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003epreceding discussion will finally lead to the conclusion that the conceptualisation of\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCyberspace as one aspect responsible for the unbundling of territory provides an\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eimportant explanatory insight into the transformation from modernity to\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003epostmodernity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783638942522\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Libri","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783638942522","offer_id":39422470946909,"sku":"9783638942522","price":15.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/d5da8fa7-cdfb-47a5-8a5d-82dd03f12f92.jpg?v=1777439263","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/unbundling-territoriality-in-the-era-of-real-time-cyberspace-von-jan-ludert","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
