CYBERSTATE: AN ALTERNATIVE TO BUILDING LEGAL UNIFICATION BRINGING ABOUT LEGAL ORDER IN CYBERSOCIETY

Abstract

The world has been growing massively, giving rise to the presence of frequently used cyberspace in society. However, its presence triggers transnational criminal problems, which calls for a new legal order capable of serving as a solution to cybersociety-related problems. Departing from this overview, this research aims to investigate whether legal unification can serve as an alternative to building a legal order in cybersociety and how the idea of legal unification can come together with the existence of cyberspace to guarantee law-abiding cybersociety. This research focuses more on analyzing and finding new insight into law in the era of digitalization. In terms of normative law, legal unification is capable of setting a rationale to build cybersociety, but this measure requires transboundary cooperation to result in an international convention.
