- W3187169700 abstract "Global regimes around trade, investment and intellectual property have mostly been conceptualized and written by the North. Developing countries were typically late to understand their real implications, by which time these had got too entrenched to admit structural changes towards fairly including developing country interests. A similar situation is arising with regard to the geo-economics of the global digital phenomenon.A global digital order is gradually and steadily taking shape. Various social sectors are getting transformed by digital “platforms”, like the information sector by Google, commerce by Amazon, and urban transportation by Uber. Companies that own these platforms are largely multinational, US-based monopolies. They soak up free raw data from developing countries and convert it into “digital intelligence”, which is employed in reorganization and consequent domination of all sectors. Apart from becoming a sustained model of economic exploitation of developing countries, this new form of digital dependency also carries dire political, social and cultural consequences.Viewing the digital phenomenon through narrow frameworks of a promising industry and/or neutral tool for socioeconomic development, developing countries have ignored larger policy issues like internalizing network effects of data and digital intelligence to support national industry, regulation of platforms, and ownership of publicly important digital data.Developing countries remain at the margins of global Internet/digital governance processes, with no vision or common strategies. Absence of a body in the UN system dedicated to digital policy issues, and the lack of support of a strong South South institutional mechanism needed to deal with this complex subject matter, are the main reasons for such a situation. In default, the North continues to develop the norms and policy principles for the global digital society, on the basis of its interests and its geopolitical vision.The current times are of critical importance to shape the key features of the emerging global digital order. If existing trends continue, developing countries will soon be locked into strong digital dependency. The global reach through the Internet of unimaginably intelligent technologies carries the very real prospect of invasive domination by the North and denial of national sovereignty to developing countries. The Global South needs to get its act together by undertaking urgent measures that range from understanding and framing issues in this domain, to establishing appropriate mechanisms for South South cooperation, and evolving common geopolitical strategies for engagement with global forums.The objective of this paper is to contribute to sensitizing developing countries to the overall context in which the global digital order is evolving today, and to argue the need for a holistic approach to the epochal challenge that it represents." @default.
