| Summary/Abstract |
While the Internet is now a component of people's everyday lives and is becoming more and more convenient, it has also brought about various problems and adverse effects that could be damaging to human rights, corporate interests, and even national interests. In order to address these problems and adverse effects, countries have recently begun to establish national boundaries over the Internet to control it. This article will consider whether countries are capable of establishing sovereignty over the Internet. To this end, first the scope of national sovereignty in terms of the physical entities that make up Internet services, namely, providers, users, network equipment, and network facilities will be defined. Then the four methods for establishing national sovereignty over the Internet from the perspective of social phenomena will be examined. In addition, in examining whether it is possible for countries to secure the power to levy taxes over the Internet, the article will consider the requirements for countries to establish sovereignty over the Internet. Finally, an explanation and attempt to elucidate a new phenomenon involving the movement of corporate earnings to the cloud will be offered.

| Summary/Abstract |
The word “innovation” tends to bring to mind the USA, rather than Europe or Japan. In the ICT industry, in particular, revolutionary companies such as Apple, Amazon, Google, and Microsoft have succeeded in bringing about numerous innovations. Because of this, it has become second nature to think of innovation as a US phenomenon. What, then, gives rise to so much innovation in the USA? In this article, the author will first provide an overall view of innovation from the perspectives of economics and of management theory and examine the ways in which innovation has been interpreted and defined. Then, the author will consider the question of why the USA is so innovative as a nation from the three perspectives of its historical background, national character, and systems supporting innovation. It will be demonstrated that one of the characteristics of innovation—discontinuity—is well entrenched in the USA, as is a national character that stresses individualism and a culture that forgives failure. The author will suggest that new innovations will continue to be the driving force of US economic growth into the future.
