The governance of cyberspace in according to the concept of technical-scientific legitimacy

In the first step, we analyze the combination of technology and governance in the modern era and the intensification of this combination in the digital era; based on the previous step, we present an idea of legitimacy that we have named technical-scientific legitimacy. This idea is a descriptive idea about the legitimacy of exercising authority and governance in the modern and digital eras. The study of the two macro-models of justice-centered governance in the traditional approach and reason of state and security-centered governance in the modern world, which has led to the proliferation of security, governance and power technologies in this age, is our analytical path to develop the concept of technical-scientific legitimacy. In the light of this concept, we have examined some of the main problems of cyberspace governance, including the governance of platforms and contents in cyberspace, and have proposed solutions for them in accordance with the current requirements of cyberspace. Prioritizing platforms, strengthening local monopoly and double governance through pluralization of the international actors in Iran's cyberspace are the three sides of our proposed solution for the problem of erosion of national sovereignty in the digital era.
