Much of today’s international governance systems were established before the rise of modern digital platforms and therefore lack the ability to address these new digital issues. It is becoming increasingly clear that digital technologies are advancing at a rapid pace, and regulators are struggling to keep up. CIGI was founded 20 years ago to address gaps in global governance. As our work progressed, we realized the transformative effects of digital technologies and we chose to focus our efforts in this area. We understood that the impacts of technology were not happening in silos, but rather in crosscutting ways across multiple sectors and regulatory bodies.

We can no longer separate trade and prosperity from intellectual property and data flows; democracy and justice from misinformation and foreign interference; or security and warfare from cybersecurity and cyber theft. This is why CIGI is now focused on identifying gaps in international governance through the lens of digital technologies.
