On October 25, 2023, the US government set off positive and negative shock
waves in the world of digital and trade policy by announcing the
abandonment of its longstanding advocacy of ambitious negotiations for
digital trade. Until last week, the United States had been the leading
proponent of strong trade rules that would curtail governments’
restrictions on cross-border data flows and their requirements of forced
data localization and access to source code as a condition of foreign firms
doing business in their countries. Difficult negotiations have been
underway in multiple settings including the *World Trade Organization’s
Joint Statement Initiative (JSI) on E-Commerce
<http://isoc.live/?action=user_content_redirect&uuid=99f45385e9e350cc3e0844e00deba80ce446c6582190c3ef292f913fa7481352&blog_id=151329629&post_id=17034&user_id=2239291&subs_id=125336&signature=2e61b43b058400b01a474600a76f3533&email_name=new-post&user_email=joly@punkcast.com&url=https://www.wto.org/english/tratop_e/ecom_e/joint_statement_e.htm>*,
and in the *Indo-Pacific Economic Framework for Prosperity (IPEF)
<http://isoc.live/?action=user_content_redirect&uuid=eec6c8eed0450524db9bd672ce31a476b2bbd232a8d1dae88f1c1cd77a863a8b&blog_id=151329629&post_id=17034&user_id=2239291&subs_id=125336&signature=70be8bd7477037a9c02b96d5f7185a8c&email_name=new-post&user_email=joly@punkcast.com&url=https://ustr.gov/trade-agreements/agreements-under-negotiation/indo-pacific-economic-framework-prosperity-ipef>*.
The US policy reversal has greatly dismayed like-minded governments,
business interests, and trade analysts who advocate international regimes
that promote openness in the global digital economy. Conversely, the
decision has been warmly welcomed by opposing governments and civil society
organizations, and by critics of Big Tech in the US Congress.

Why did the United States reverse a long-standing position that has been
central to its posture as a global leader in international trade policy?
Who benefits and what is gained or lost by the shift? How will this affect
current and future trade negotiations? What could the new US posture mean
for the future evolution and governance of the global digital and Internet
environments?

This webinar assembles a panel of expert analysts to assess the causes and
consequences of the new US approach to digital trade negotiations. As
always, the panelists’ conversation will be followed by an open dialogue
among all webinar participants.
