Digital Governance

New technological developments have created a completely new environment encompassing all areas of today’s societies including governance processes on local, national, regional and international level. The module focuses on how new digital technologies have changed public governance processes before turning to specific issues such as data protection and the impact of artificial intelligence.

The module will also tackle the dark side of technological progresses by analysing the issue of cyber security and cyber warfare. It also emphasises on the special role Geneva plays as hotspot and global hub for the governance of digital innovation.
