Data is increasingly becoming an indispensable part of every facet of society. This course aims to introduce students with the nascent regulatory area of data governance. It takes a comparative approach to exploring the data governance regimes of the European Union, United States, and China. A sociolegal framing of core normative orientations of the subject jurisdictions provides a background to base regulatory stances. These are followed by thematic explorations of data governance areas, including data protection, cybersecurity, cloud systems, and artificial intelligence. The course subsequently unearths rising data governance motifs like digital sovereignty and data mobility, providing students with a critical perspective on future-facing developments in national and international data governance.
