| NOTAS: | The report has involved some 30 top-level contributors, including not only some of the CERRE academic principals, but also other first-class experts from Europe, the United States, China, and other countries.
"Whilst digital innovation is accelerating and the digital economy is growing dramatically, geopolitical frictions and the reassertion of States’ control on cyberspace are changing the landscape of digital regulation, governance and the globalisation process. Strong forces are pushing the global digital economy towards deeper convergence and, at the same time, as illustrated by the US/China technological decoupling, towards segmentation into divergent sub-parts. The outcome of the tension between convergence and segmentation of the digital economy will have a decisive influence on the future of the global economy.
The report provides a series of recommendations organised around four policy objectives for optimal global governance: efficiency, compatibility, resilience, and coherence. These recommendations include the establishment of a Digital Stability Board (DSB) by the G20 to which the Board would be reporting. Gathering representatives from governments, regulators, industry, think tanks and relevant non-governmental organisations, it would identify and monitor business practices as well as technological and regulatory developments, and outline policy priorities and options." |
