International Journal of Public Administration, 2020, vol. 43, issue 5, 452-465

Abstract: This article explores Turkey’s multifaceted cyberspace governance policy and argues that positioned between two opposites of cyberspace governance that has close military and security ties to the West, and domestic Internet policies more similar of Russia-China axis, Turkey should be considered as a swing state in global cyberspace governance debates. The article shows that despite her official discourse on multi-stakeholderism and its compliance with the emerging norms in the Euro-Atlantic alliance concerning cyber-security, cyber-crime, and cyber-defense; Turkey’s domestic Internet policy converges towards the Russia-China axis characterized by the rise of information controls and increasing efforts to establish “digital sovereignty” to national cyber space.
