The Digital Transformation Lab (DigiTraL) is funded by the Federal Foreign Office. Its first phase “Digital Diplomacy and Statecraft” focuses on how digitalisation offers new opportunities, challenges, and instruments for foreign policy. It will identify the options and (security) threats of digitalisation to develop timely responses of (digital) diplomacy.

Reducing the Weaponization of Digital Interdependence: The Overlooked Potential of the EU’s New Digital Regulation Package

The DSA is directed at protecting consumer rights and at enhancing accountability of platforms. The DMA serves to achieve fair competition on the digital market that has taken an oligopoly-like structure. We explain an aspect that is largely overlooked in the debate on the new regulation, its potential to reduce the weaponization of digital dependence.

Peripheral Countries’ International Insertion in a Changing Global Order: Digital Diplomacy in Argentina’s Foreign Policy

This article explores the adaptation of diplomacy to the digital age, focusing on Argentina's application of digital diplomacy. Traditionally, diplomacy involved diplomats representing their countries in exclusive circles, detached from the public. The emergence of “public diplomacy” sought to bridge this gap.

Using Digital Diplomacy to Achieve Peripheral Countries’ Foreign Policy Objectives

Digital diplomacy enables peripheral countries to project their FP objectives and identity globally, enhance visibility, and communicate successful foreign policies to domestic audiences. This Policy Brief explores Argentina's experience with utilising digital diplomacy as a means of a peripheral country’s FP strategy.

Protocols and Platforms: Historicizing the Ideologies of Social Media

This paper explores precepts and ideologies of the internet generally, and social media companies in particular. It investigates suggestions to return to protocols rather than platforms and explicates that this is too simplistic as general policy. The paper historicizes the way we speak about the internet and seemingly neutral conceptions of freedom and free speech.

Utopian Roots and Hybrid Futures: The Ideology and Governance of Social Media Platforms

Any discourse regarding the use by government officials, governance, or regulation of the internet in general, and social media in particular, must take ideology into account. Policymakers and stakeholders should question in which ways it is compatible with core democratic principles, especially free speech and minority rights.

EU Digital Diplomacy and the Global South

Digital diplomacy defined as an extension of traditional public diplomacy, i.e. the use of social media to achieve diplomatic goals has become a key channel for the EU to engage with foreign audiences and promote its soft power. The EU has intensified its digital diplomacy efforts directed at fighting disinformation and winning over countries in the Global South.

Research Questions

Digital technologies are fundamentally transforming societies worldwide. The Global South is a taker and important shaper in this change. The project analyses drivers and consequences of digitalization across the world regions and delivers useful impulses for German foreign policy.

The project will serve as a resource for researchers to better understand the connections and implications of global digitalisation, and for diplomats and practitioners to handle and shape these transformations effectively. It will investigate both the challenges and opportunities that emerge from two trends.

On the one hand, digital platforms are facilitating the emergence of a bigger set of actors with amplified voice. This “flattening” effect of digitalisation complicates the process of foreign policy making and diplomacy and its implementation for all states. On the other hand, interdependence gets weaponised and some states emerge as hubs of information networks, power imbalances between states increase.

“Digital Diplomacy and Statecraft” will analyse the implications of fragmentation of the global digital space in an era of increasing decoupling and growing nationalism. It will study the possibilities of reforming and updating multilateralism to work in a digital age. In doing so, it will explore current debates on connectivity, data protection, digital interference, and governance.

Digitalisation and new technologies bring the potential of major power shifts with them. German foreign policy has an interest in making partnership-based offers of cooperation on digitalisation to countries in Asia, Africa, Latin America, and the Middle East. A digitally sovereign Germany will be able to foster exchange and build global partnerships. Diplomacy with its world-spanning apparatus could become an access point to an overlooked and unused potential. This could help in the promotion of values that Germany and Europe stand for. Collaboration and impactfully steering the debate will no longer be possible without strongholds in and influence on the digital space.

As digitalisation is a global phenomenon, it needs multilateral regulation, and it needs to take into account actors from around the world. However, the actions of countries, companies, and citizens from the Global South have hitherto been a blind spot for most analyses on the topic. The GIGA, with its long-standing expertise in these regions and on global issues, seeks to correct the existing imbalance. The project can contribute to advancing standard-setting debates and to developing ways for adequately regulating the informational space at the global level. It is one of our central aims to help raise awareness of various countries in Asia, Africa, Latin America, and the Middle East as possible partners and shapers of digitalisation, and explore ideas for successful cooperation amidst intense global competition.

Research Design and Methods

The project maps existing academic and policy debates in this area, and also explores the approaches taken by different countries and stakeholders to harness digitalization. It seeks to build a network of scholars, policy-makers and non-state actors from the Global South in this area. The project is deliberately conceptualized as a multi-disciplinary and multi-method one.
