Anu Bradford, "Digital Empires: The Global Battle to Regulate Technology" (Oxford UP, 2023)
b'The global battle among the three dominant digital powers\\u2015the United States, China, and the European Union\\u2015is 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\\xa0Digital Empires: The Global Battle to Regulate Technology\\xa0(Oxford UP, 2023), her provocative follow-up to\\xa0The Brussels Effect, Anu Bradford explores a rivalry that will shape the world in the decades to come.\\nAcross the globe, people dependent on digital technologies have become increasingly alarmed that their rapid adoption and transformation have ushered in an exceedingly concentrated economy where a few powerful companies control vast economic wealth and political power, undermine data privacy, and widen the gap between economic winners and losers. In response, world leaders are variously embracing the idea of reining in the most dominant tech companies. Bradford examines three competing regulatory approaches\\u2015the American market-driven model, the Chinese state-driven model, and the European rights-driven regulatory model\\u2015and discusses how governments and tech companies navigate the inevitable conflicts that arise when these regulatory approaches collide in the international domain. Which digital empire will prevail in the contest for global influence remains an open question, yet their contrasting strategies are increasingly clear.\\nDigital societies are at an inflection point. In the midst of these unfolding regulatory battles, governments, tech companies, and digital citizens are making important choices that will shape the future ethos of the digital society. Digital Empires lays bare the choices we face as societies and individuals, explains the forces that shape those choices, and illuminates the immense stakes involved for everyone who uses digital technologies.\\nJake Chanenson\\xa0is a computer science Ph.D. student and law student at the University of Chicago.
