>> 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

>> 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.
