DESCRIPTION:Civil society organisations are increasingly shaping what data 
 sovereignty means by reframing governance\, rights\, and ethical framework
 s regarding the use of personal data. Engagement of civil society organisa
 tions in the debates challenge the established conception of data sovereig
 nty held by nation-states and multinational corporations\, which often tre
 at personal data as an instrument of control\, geopolitical power\, and co
 mmercial profit. This research attempt to address how civil society organi
 sations frame data sovereignty issues and how does their framing inform th
 e struggles for equitable data practices in increasingly datafied societie
 s?\n\nUsing a field-theoretic approach in combination with social network 
 analysis\, this study identified the social structure of organisations and
  their relational position in online network. Based on social structure\, 
 organisations in this thesis are classified into three analytically distin
 ct field positions: ‘Complex’\, ‘Glocal’\, and ‘Local’. This c
 lassification reflects how organisations accumulate and mobilise two key f
 orms of capital (economic capital and cosmopolitan capital). Based on soci
 al relations\, two standard measures from social network analysis (indegre
 e centrality and outdegree centrality) are used to capture organisational 
 ‘popularity’ and ‘activity’ in online network. With this approach\
 , organisations are classified into four relational roles: ‘Authority’
  (high indegree\, low outdegree)\, ‘Influencer’ (high indegree\, high 
 outdegree)\, ‘Initiator’ (low indegree\, high outdegree)\, and ‘Obse
 rver’ (low indegree\, low outdegree). \n\nExamining the relation between
  field position and frame engagement of 289 data sovereignty organisations
 \, this study found that the more prominent an organisation's field positi
 on\, the less likely it is to adopt the national-state frame\, and the mor
 e likely it is to engage with the individual-person frame as its primary d
 iscursive strategy. This gradient reflects the logic of the field where or
 ganisations with more prominent field position operate across national jur
 isdictions and much rely on transnational legitimacy structures such as in
 ternational standards bodies\, global civil society coalitions\, and cross
 -border regulatory networks. On the contrary\, smaller organisations with 
 limited network recognition struggle in a field in which the state remains
  the most proximate and accessible source of institutional protection\, ma
 king national-state framing a rational discursive alignment. The community
 -collective frame occupies a rather middle ground.\n\nThese patterns sugge
 st that data sovereignty is not a single discursive project but a stratifi
 ed one. What organisations state about data is inseparable from where they
  position in the field. Organisations with higher field status translate e
 quity\, fairness\, and justice claims into the language of international s
 tandards\, multi‑stakeholder coalitions\, and cross‑border regulatory 
 norms\, thereby making equitable data practices legible to global platform
 s and regulators. Meanwhile\, locally rooted organisations frame data sove
 reignty in national terms which makes rights‑based\, territorially ancho
 red remedies more practicable for addressing local harms.\n\nKeywords: dat
 a sovereignty\, field\, organisation\, social network analysis
