Global Digital Governance

Digital transformation involves power struggles, rule-making, institutional design, and international negotiation. This hub brings together analysis of these processes in the field of global digital governance, with a focus on how global frameworks for the governance of artificial intelligence and other digital technologies are being defined and contested.

Here you will find articles on the Global Digital Compact, the Summit of the Future, standards, digital sovereignty, international law, and multilateral debates related to technology governance. The focus is on the actors involved in these processes, the interests at stake, and the kind of global architecture for digital technologies—especially AI—that is beginning to take shape worldwide in uneven and often disordered ways.

We start from a simple idea: global digital governance is a field of political and institutional contestation, and the forms it takes will shape the distribution of capabilities, obligations, and decision-making authority among state and non-state actors in the decades ahead.
