Abstract
AbstractSovereignty has become a top priority for government leaders. Strengthening strategic autonomy, the three Cs of Control, Capabilities, and Capacities that are necessary for sovereignty are becoming a go/no-go criterion in technology policy initiatives. However, what is the future of sovereignty in a pervasive digital, densely connected, and compute-intense world? What is sovereignty in the world of 6G? Or is the question rather: what is 6G in a world where safeguarding sovereignty is a major theme in geopolitical collaboration, competition, and conflict? This chapter outlines the interplay of 6G technology and political-industrial governance in different scenarios for the future of sovereignty.
