The bookThe paramount role of data as a resource and driver for innovation within modern digitalised societies is increasingly being acknowledged by policymakers. Consequently, states, supranational institutions, and international organisations (e.g. OSCE) find themselves in a global "competition" to devise risk-sensible approaches of data governance and thereby promote innovation to the benefit of societies. Said competition manifests in the form of Global Data Strategies, ranging between the priorities of global standard-setting and a suitable legal framework. The strategies do and will shape the political discussion in the years to come and determine both the usage of data and the associated creation of societal value. In particular, the legislative initiatives launched under the EU Data Strategy are likely to evolve into benchmarks with a global outreach.The present work gathers contributions in English regarding Global Data Strategies along with their interdisciplinary (legal, economic, and ethical) implications. It aims to contribute to a well-founded discourse about current (and future) data strategies.The book pursues a multidimensional approach, combining insights from academia and (governmental) practice as well as legal and economic viewpoints. Data strategies from both the 'Global North' and the 'Global South' are covered. The international and comparative focus allows for a discussion of regulatory convergence and dissonance.ContentThe work provides a concise introduction to different data strategies and puts them into their socio-economic context:Introduction into Global Data StrategiesData Policy in the 21st CenturyPrinciples and Practice of Data GovernanceEconomic Parameters of Data GovernanceData Strategies in Europe, North America, Africa, and AsiaPerspectives of a Global Data LawThe advantages at a glanceconcise overview on global developments in data governanceinternational and comparable as well as intra- and interdisciplinary perspectivesfundamental research on data policyThe target groupFor academics, politicians, policymakers, members of national and supranational public authorities as well as international institutions, attorneys, company and business association lawyers.
