The Cyber Governance blog is dedicated to bringing academic research on cyber governance and policy issues to a broader audience.
Our focus is on the global and transnational opportunities and challenges arising from information technology.
Crucial decisions about market concentration in the digital economy, the relationship between social media and democracy, encryption, lawful access and warrants, and the military/espionage uses of information technology are being made largely at the national level – and without adequate consideration of the broader global effects of these decisions.
Incompatible national legal and regulatory frameworks create compliance issues for firms, risk market fragmentation in the digital economy, undermine human security and human rights, and can inhibit efforts to improve cybersecurity.
Like other technological revolutions, the information revolution will change the way human society is governed. While it is impossible to completely avoid such disruption, it is imperative that careful consideration is given to the social effects of new technologies such as cyber-physical systems and artificial intelligence, and particularly to the ways these technologies affect global governance.
Our contributors will shed light on these issues and help us identify challenges, solutions and opportunities.
