Cognitive Sovereignty and the Strategic Geography of the Algorithmic Age

The strategic geography of the twenty-first century is no longer defined primarily by oceans, borders, industrial corridors, or military bases. Increasingly, it is defined by the infrastructures that shape perception itself. The systems that mediate visibility, attention, legitimacy, and collective understanding are becoming as strategically consequential as physical territory once was.

Abstract

The strategic geography of the twenty-first century is no longer defined primarily by oceans, borders, industrial corridors, or military bases. Increasingly, it is defined by the infrastructures that shape perception itself. The systems that mediate visibility, attention, legitimacy, and collective understanding are becoming as strategically consequential as physical territory once was.
