Prof. Valerio De Luca, Director of Global Security and Foreign Affairs program, a joint program Academy Aises and American studies center of Rome participates in Risk Roundup to discuss The Digital Global Age – Contested Commons.
The Digital Global Age – Contested Commons
The revolution in information, communication and digitalization technologies, processes, and connected computers are altering everything in cyberspace, geospace, and space. Everything is changing: from how we communicate to how we work, how we bank, how we shop, how we teach and how we go to war, and much more.
The emergence of this whole new world of cyberspace has given nations: its governments, industries, organizations, and academia (NGIOA) great opportunity as well as a great risk.
The evolution in cyberspace will offer each nation as many opportunities as it does challenges! The world is undergoing a profound and perhaps permanent shift in the relative balance of power among nations: its government, industries, organizations, and academia (NGIOA).
The connected computers, information technology, and digitalization capability of information that is revolutionizing every aspect of NGIOA—have leveled the opportunity playing field and brought nations a possibility of progress, prosperity, and pride. What needs to be seen is whether, in the leveled opportunity playing field, nations will be able to compete and lay a new foundation for lasting prosperity or decline and descent.
In cyberspace, what is common to all is access to technology and information. But what is not common is how one uses that information, for what purpose and goals. While the internet and connected computers have given nations the same starting point in access to technology, information, and opportunity, there are many other variables that will determine whether a nation will be able to use the opportunity and information to develop, progress, and succeed.
So the question is, what can nations: their government, industries, organizations, and academia (NGIOA) do independently and collectively to improve their competitive and innovative positions in the world, thereby tipping the scale of cyberspace in its favor? Time is now to talk about the digital global age-contested commons.
