Watch
Nations that successfully harness the vast economic, political, and societal power of emerging information and communications technologies will shape the future of the global digital order. But this future is not set in stone. A closed, illiberal order is taking root in strategic regions around the world, as non-democratic governments exploit digital tools to grow both internal control and external influence. China, Russia, and various Middle Eastern governments are cultivating a new digital order across the pillars of information control, surveillance, and technology governance.
On Friday, January 28, CNAS hosted an event to discuss a U.S. policy response that addresses challenges at home, engages with democratic and nondemocratic partners, and counters adversaries. It must take a leadership role, recognizing that the future digital order is at stake.
