Is a More Democratic Internet possible? GIGA-Forum in cooperation with the German Institute for Global and Area Studies

This GIGA Forum, a joint event organized by the HBI and the Institute for Global and Area Studies (GIGA) in Hamburg from 4.00  to 5:30 pm, analyses the development of the Internet and its reform process, reveals potential pitfalls, and sheds light on the prospects of reformed global regulation of the Internet. Registration required. Once you have successfully registered you will receive your personal participation link and further information by email before the online event starts.

In summer 2020, Germany will present to the United Nations suggestions for the reform of the global cooperation infrastructure. At the core of this process rest the questions: Who will decide on the rules and development of the Internet? Will it be states? States in cooperation with the private sector and civil society? Given the political, societal, and economic importance of the Internet, this reform will be a crucial turning point coming to define the future of global communication and cooperation. Germany’s contribution to this process alongside the role of the countries of the Global South will be essential for a people-oriented and sustainable digitalisation.
