The use of digital technologies for state-relevant institutions, government organisations and administrations has grown steadily in recent decades. Therefore, the question arises whether mastery these an influence on a state’s ability to act and whether state sovereignty is affected. In European Union, concept states being intensively discussed. However, it unclear what exactly meant by term sovereignty how can be defined. research gap lack clear qualitative quantitative definition that term, so goal article provide overview qualitative definition. That basis quantiative model. To achive hierarchical component model developed concretisation. Furthermore, components are decomposed into sub-components, each which then quantified suitable metric parameters, populated from secondary data sources subjected selected quantitative analyses. verify validate component parameters robust for measuring sovereignty, comparative index formed compared with existing indices.
