Anonymity In Contemporary Political Discourse: Implications of Citizenship And State

Abstract

This paper makes an attempt in bringing anonymity into contemporary political discourse as the issue is getting entangled in political debates more and more which is situated in the debate on anonymity that went on in the house of commons of UK parliament. Hitherto the state has enjoyed the monopoly over space but this paper suggests the rise of the internet and decentralised system databases creates cyberspace which defies the monopoly of state power. Further, it explores the implications for the state, citizenship and anonymity.
