Description
Summary:Belarus, Russia and Kazakhstan are among the highly developed countries in the UN e-Government Development Index. With a high rate of digitalization of public administration, solving the problems of citizens' access to the Internet and developing the electronic services sector, these countries differ from each other in the design of a digitalization policy. The structure of digitalization projects in these countries includes all the necessary components — strategy, coordination, evaluation, intervention, but it is distinguished by a focus on digital change and a political infrastructure that ensures technology interference in the public sphere. Among the significant factors of digitalization policy in the described cases, the idea of sovereignty related to the Internet and digital  technologies stands out. The general policy of the countries included in the Eurasian space of cooperation is expressed by the principle of “digital sovereignty”. The article analyses the general understanding of the principle  of “digital sovereignty” and the various strategies for its implementation — “multilateral interaction”, “stakeholdercooperation” and “centralized management”, as well as the institutions of management that provide them.
