Against the prevailing interpretations which disqualify a Foucauldian approach from the discourse of freedom, this study offers a novel concept of political freedom and posits freedom as the primary axiological motif of Foucault's writing.

Brief Introduction Digital technologies can promote productivity, dynamic growth returns, structural change and the implementation of sustainable development goals, but they also present new challenges. Some of these challenges – such as data extraction and commodification, rising costs of innovation, an influx of predatory firms and the loss of privacy – have been linked to national policy to assert digital sovereignty in this new age (Pohle & Thiel, 2020). Put simply, such calls for digital sovereignty require governments to articulate a national vision of economic independence, development and personal freedom in the interest of their citizens. Yet this can be complex in practice. What does economic independence and development look like in the digital economy? How can we define and balance freedom, at the national, economic and personal levels, within countries? Are states best positioned to define the interests of their citizens and, if so, what forms of participatory engagement are required? What are the implications of the 'digital divide', both within and between countries, for digital sovereignty? Is 'digital sovereignty' the best way to articulate and frame policy in the digital economy? These questions assume particular importance in developing countries, especially for those in Africa, due to the challenges associated with the digital economy, weak institutions and policy capacity to anticipate the influence of new digital technologies, and data inequality. This collection of essays seeks to address these issues with considerable focus, and includes essays which address the following broad heads related to digital sovereignty in Africa: Digital transformations for and in Africa (economic autonomy, technological change) Digital technologies for development in Africa Privacy and data governance models for Africa Data access and data equality for Africa.

International norms governing appropriate conduct in cyberspace are immature, leaving politicians, diplomats, and military authorities to grapple with the challenges of defending against and executing hostilities in cyberspace. Cyberspace is unlike the traditional physical domains where actions occur at specific geographic places and times. Rules governing conduct in the traditional domains emerged over centuries and share a common understanding of sovereignty that helps establish and justify the use of force. In cyberspace, sovereignty is a more abstract notion because the geographic boundaries are often difficult to define as data and applications increasingly reside in a virtual, global "cloud." This paper proposes a construct for establishing sovereignty in cyberspace by studying similarities between space and cyberspace. The characteristics of the space domain challenged traditional notions of sovereignty based on geography. As nations deployed space-based capabilities, the concept of sovereignty needed to mature to deal with the physical realities of space. Sovereignty is defined, and general requirements for claiming sovereignty are presented. The evolution of sovereignty in space is then discussed, followed by a construct for how sovereignty could be defined in cyberspace. The paper also reviews U.S. civil policy and military doctrine and discusses how these documents offer insights into the U.S. approach to asserting its claims within these domains. It concludes by examining an emerging trend where nations not only seek to establish sovereign claims over the architectural aspects of cyberspace, but also the information that flows over it.

Abstract
The following is a presentation delivered as introductory remarks for my PhD defense of the dissertation, "Weaving our authority together: transforming the prairie Indigenous political order" held in February 2020. The remarks presented a rare opportunity to strike a tone that needed to speak to my dissertation committee, six family members and four community members from Maskwacîs. These community members travelled on behalf of the Board of Maskwacîs Education Schools Commission, my research partner, and the Ermineskin Education Trust Fund, that administered the funding for almost the entirety of my post-secondary education and helped me to access my treaty right to education. My main motivation was to draw a clear picture of how exclusive sovereignty is a legacy of settler colonization that has impacted Maskwacîs and how we confronted that legacy through the articulation and implementation of a relational sovereignty.
