Alongside international internet governance bodies such as ICANN, new models for governance of digital communications platforms have emerged in recent years including the European Commission’s Code of Conduct on Countering Illegal Hate Speech and the Facebook Oversight Board. However, at the moment, there is an absence of a single international standard-setting body for digital communications or a unified framework for governing digital public goods. Competition and contests over issues like privacy, data colonialism, cybersecurity, and access to internet infrastructure have exacerbated trade, economic and political tensions, and have also significantly affected transborder and transcultural communication flows. This one-day hybrid preconference aims to explore policy and governance strategies emerging from the development and use of digital communications technologies and their impacts on transcultural communications, with a focus on the themes of neo-globalization, digitalisation, and platformisation. It seeks to address some fundamental questions that may help in strengthening digital governance approaches and facilitating safe, productive, and inclusive transcultural communications: What are the critical contests around digital governance of transnational and transcultural communications platforms? How do they exemplify differences in values and ethics between key stakeholders? What are the crucial components of digital governance strategies, and how are these evolving in light of platformisation? How can existing institutional, and largely national, models of communications governance adapt to this new context? To what extent are new, international models of governance addressing transcultural communications? What are the best practice examples of new digital governance modalities working in the public interest?

Governance of digital and internet technologies involves a complex series of actions carried out in cross-territorial space by multiple stakeholders, transversing huge cultural, political, economic, and social differences. Alongside international internet governance bodies such as ICANN, new models for governance of digital communications platforms have emerged in recent years including the European Commission’s Code of Conduct on Countering Illegal Hate Speech and the Facebook Oversight Board. However, at the moment, there is an absence of a single international standard-setting body for digital communications or a unified framework for governing digital public goods. Competition and contests over issues like privacy, data colonialism, cybersecurity, and access to internet infrastructure have exacerbated trade, economic and political tensions, and have also significantly affected transborder and transcultural communication flows.
This one-day hybrid preconference aims to explore policy and governance strategies emerging from the development and use of digital communications technologies and their impacts on transcultural communications, with a focus on the themes of neo-globalization, digitalisation, and platformisation.
It seeks to address some fundamental questions that may help in strengthening digital governance approaches and facilitating safe, productive, and inclusive transcultural communications:
What are the critical contests around digital governance of transnational and transcultural communications platforms? How do they exemplify differences in values and ethics between key stakeholders?
