Abstract
Abstract With sheer petabytes of data being transferred, re-used, and analysed daily on a global scale, data sharing ecosystems worldwide – bearing economic and societal benefits at the same time – have become hyper-complex. Lawmakers and enforcement agencies have to match the speed of the ‘moving target’ data-related regulation and cope with the challenge of not only sticking to a domestic view, but (by design) also take account of the international and comparative effects of their respective policies. Globally, we see processes of convergence and divergence alike. Taking it therefore a step further: Are we already on the verge of a truly Global Data Law or are competing legal regimes rather bound to exacerbate the geopolitical claims to digital sovereignty? This two-fold report presents the findings of two conferences which examined the issues arising from this question. The conferences featured distinguished experts from multi-disciplinary legal backgrounds on data policy and law. While the first conference in Accra, Ghana, was devoted to data protection architectures and cultures on the African continent, the second – in Munich, Germany – provided holistic insights into comparative research and highlighted the interdependencies of data (protection) law regimes worldwide.
