The Network Society Influence on the Contemporary State Power Reconfiguration

Abstract

Diverse events and phenomena have happened in different societies worldwide in the last few years. Such events have challenged the State power legitimacy and become other interpretations of political legitimacy. Those societies seem to be geographically distant, but their changes follow the same tendencies, which correspond to the configuration of network societies, more connected and communicated forming a virtual society beyond traditional State boundaries. Those phenomena transform the world and generate new challenges to modern States and their configuration. This paper aims to explain how the configuration of the contemporary world affects the State power dynamic and creates multiple transformations.
