The Digital Trade Research Group of the City Law School of City, University of London invites you to the book launch of the Elgar Research Handbook on Digital Trade, edited by Professor David Collins of The City Law School, City, University of London and Michael Geist, University of Ottawa.
Abstract
This comprehensive research handbook analyses the impact of the rapid growth of digital trade on businesses, consumers, and regulators.
Leading experts provide theoretical and practical insight into how to manage the legal and policy challenges of the global digital economy. Chapters cover key areas of digital trade policy and regulation, examining finance, investment, tax, AI, and security.
Drawing from a broad spectrum of digital trade sub-specialisms, this book explores diverse regional and national approaches to e-commerce, spanning Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe, and the Middle East.
It scrutinizes the evolution of digital trade within the international trade system, assessing its inclusion within the WTO and the move towards digital-only agreements.
Contributors investigate pressing legal controversies concerning trade protectionism, the recognition of intellectual property, and the safeguarding of personal data.
