Event Description

The European Union has long been understood as a global regulatory and normative power, capable of shaping markets, standards, and rules beyond its borders. How does the European Union imagine and pursue a future of digital sovereignty? What becomes of the "Brussels Effect" in this context? This conversation examines the EU’s digital sovereignty agenda and its evolving relationship to the "Brussels Effect", and to consider what is at stake as Europe seeks to govern the digital domain while reducing its strategic dependencies in an increasingly fragmented international order.
