The European Cyber Security Organisation (ECSO) is proud to host an online session with Anu Bradford, Henry L. Moses Professor of International Law and Organizations at the Columbia Law School. In this event open for everyone, the author will dive deep into the topics of her latest publication, Digital Empires: The Global Battle to Regulate Technology, and answers the questions of ECSO Members and overall European cybersecurity community.
The global battle among the three dominant digital powers, the United States, China, and the European Union, is intensifying. All three regimes are racing to regulate tech companies, with each advancing a competing vision for the digital economy while attempting to expand its sphere of influence in the digital world. In Digital Empires, her provocative follow-up to The Brussels Effect, Anu Bradford explores a rivalry that will shape the world in the decades to come.
