ALI Releases Next Steps for U.S. Digital Leadership: Advancing Digital Governance with the Pacific and Europe

ALI is pleased to release its new report: Next Steps for U.S. Digital Leadership: Advancing Digital Governance with the Pacific and Europe. The report builds on ALI’s Global Digital Strategy for America released in February and recommends next steps to advance U.S. and global post-pandemic economic recovery, counter China’s technology challenge, and ensure that America plays a leading role in writing the digital rules for the 21st century.

The report asserts that a new digital agenda starts with the need to identify policies that are worker-centric. Second, the U.S. should negotiate a Pacific Digital Agreement to reestablish U.S. engagement in Asia, building on existing high standard digital agreements. Additionally, the U.S. should build a coalition of like-minded, technology-democracies to develop a high-standard digital governance agenda advancing open and democratic values. The U.S.-EU Tech and Trade Council is a good first step toward this goal, but the U.S. and EU will need to work through digital policy friction, including privacy, taxation, and regulatory approaches.
