Digital Empires: The Global Battle to Regulate Technology

Mon. August 21st, 2023
Online

The United States, China, and the European Union are racing to regulate tech companies. Each market is advancing a competing vision for the digital economy while attempting to expand its sphere of influence in the digital world. The latest book by Anu Bradford, Digital Empires: The Global Battle to Regulate Technology (Oxford University Press, September 26, 2023) is a provocative follow-up to The Brussels Effect and explores how governments and tech companies navigate the inevitable conflicts that arise when these different regulatory approaches collide in the international domain.

Please join Anu Bradford and Carnegie Endowment Senior Fellow Michael Nelson for an engaging online discussion of Digital Empires and the choices we face as societies and individuals, the forces that shape those choices, and the huge stakes involved for everyone who uses digital technologies.
