NU Law Books: Ben Farrand: Geopolitical Union: Europe’s Attempt to Take Back Control of Technology

Geopolitical Union focuses on the changes to law and policy-making as a result of geopolitical instability and increased conflict in the international system. Central to many of these conflicts is technology – who produces it, where it is produced, and who controls it. The European Commission's pursuit of digital/technological sovereignty is Europe's attempt to regain control of technology regulation. Focusing on topics such as technological standards, ensuring access to microchips, and securing rules for industrial data and AI, this book explores the EU's approach; increased regulatory oversight and promotion of industrial policy at home, while exporting its rules abroad.
