Выявлена и раскрыта причинно-следственная связь между экстратерриториальными претензиями одних государств и ответной протекционистской политикой других (законы о локализации данных), что является ключевым импульсом фрагментации («балканизации») киберпространства. Установлено, что в праве происходит переход от жестких территориальных критериев («место исполнения», «место причинения вреда») к гибким оценочным категориям («тесная связь»). Обосновано, что территориальная парадигма не упраздняется, а адаптируется через формирование правовых фикций, «привязывающих» национальные сегменты киберпространства (доменные зоны, инфраструктуру) к государственной территории. Доказана несостоятельность концепции признания киберпространства глобальным общественным достоянием по аналогии с открытым морем в условиях технологической монополии и геополитического соперничества.</p></sec><sec><title>Научная новизна</title><p>Научная новизна: разработан конвергентный подход, позволяющий исследовать трансформацию юрисдикции как единый процесс, затрагивающий и международное публичное, и международное частное право. Обоснована концепция адаптации территориальной парадигмы, которая проявляется не в ее отмене, а в параллельном развитии двух процессов: «заземления» виртуального пространства через правовые фикции и формирования нового «виртуального контура» экстратерриториальной юрисдикции. Доказана определяющая роль государственно-центричного подхода и политики цифрового суверенитета в противовес модели мультистейкхолдеризма, а также дана новая оценка тенденции установления юрисдикции на основе «тесной связи» в международном частном праве и выявлены ее риски исходя из правовой определенности.</p></sec><sec><title>Практическая значимость</title><p>Практическая значимость: результаты исследования могут быть использованы при разработке национальной и международной политики на основе государственно-центричной модели управления Интернетом, а выявленные тенденции (экстратерриториальные претензии, технологическая монополия) могут быть использованы в целях прогнозирования и предотвращения угроз и разработки превентивных мер, заключающихся в формировании политики стратегического управления киберпространством.</p></sec></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><sec><title>Objective</title><p>Objective: to develop new approaches to the transformation of the territorial paradigm of jurisdiction in international public and private law under digitalization.</p></sec><sec><title>Methods</title><p>Methods: the research is based on general scientific methods of cognition (analysis, synthesis, system approach, modeling), as well as an interdisciplinary (convergent) approach, which allowed integrating the categorical apparatus of international public and private law.</p></sec><sec><title>Results</title><p>Results: the study proved that it is impossible to solve conflict-of-laws and jurisdictional problems of private international law in the digital age without referring to the basic categories of public international law (sovereignty, territory, etc.). The author identified and disclosed a causal relationship between the extraterritorial claims of some states and the retaliatory protectionist policies of others (data localization laws), which is a key impetus for the cyberspace fragmentation (“Balkanization”). It is established that law faces a transition from rigid territorial criteria (“place of execution”, “place of harm”) to flexible assessment categories (“close connection”). The research proved that the territorial paradigm is not abolished, but is adapted by forming legal fictions that “bind” national segments of cyberspace (domain zones, infrastructure) to a state territory. The author showed the inconsistency of recognizing cyberspace as a global public domain similar to the open sea under technological monopoly and geopolitical rivalry.</p></sec><sec><title>Scientific novelty</title><p>Scientific novelty: a convergent approach was developed that allows studying the jurisdiction transformation as a consolidated process affecting both public and private international law. The concept of adapting the territorial paradigm was substantiated, which manifests itself not in its abolition, but in the parallel development of two processes: the “grounding" of virtual space through legal fictions and the formation of a new “virtual contour” of extraterritorial jurisdiction. The author proves the decisive role of the state-centric approach and the policy of digital sovereignty as opposed to the model of multistakeholderism. The study also provides a new assessment of the trend of establishing jurisdiction based on “close connection” in private international law and identifies its risks based on legal certainty.</p></sec><sec><title>Practical significance</title><p>Practical significance: the research results can be used to develop national and international policies based on a state-centered Internet management model; the identified trends (extraterritorial claims, technological monopoly) can be used to predict and prevent threats and develop preventive measures aimed at shaping strategic cyberspace management policies.</p></sec></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>публично-правовые науки</kwd><kwd>суверенитет</kwd><kwd>экстратерриториальность</kwd><kwd>киберпространство</kwd><kwd>территориальная парадигма</kwd><kwd>мультистейкхолдеризм</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>public-legal disciplines</kwd><kwd>sovereignty</kwd><kwd>extraterritoriality</kwd><kwd>cyberspace</kwd><kwd>territorial paradigm</kwd><kwd>multistakeholderism</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">Ансельмо, Э.
