Discussion of "Digital Empires"

This event will be held online via Google Meet.

Event Summary

Moderated by Austin Forum executive director Jay Boisseau. In "Digital Empires," Bradford argues that the world is on the cusp of a new era of geopolitical competition, one that will be fought over the control of data and technology. She identifies four digital empires—the United States, China, the European Union, and the United Kingdom—that are vying for dominance in this new realm.

Bradford's book is a timely and important contribution to our understanding of the global competition for technological supremacy, which has tremendous ramifications for national security, global business and economics, data privacy and sovereignty, and much more. It is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the future of technology and its impact on our lives.

Anu Bradford is a professor of law and international relations at Columbia University. She is the author of several books, including "The Brussels Effect: How the European Union Rules the World" and "Power in the Global Digital Economy."
