Participants will gain the practical skills and information required to discuss specific digital policy aspects, such as cross-border data flows, data localisation, cybersecurity, consumer protection and the implication of emerging technologies to digital trade, such as the Internet of Things and 3D printing. Due to the blended learning course format which includes weekly face-to-face meetings, registration for this session of the Digital Commerce course is open only to applicants based in Geneva.

We discuss the notion of global digital flows from a business and a technical perspective. We also examine some online business models which help to explain the soaring flows of data. 2. *Digital economy*: Economic policy issues of relevance for digital commerce. We examine the economic value of data, digital payment systems, taxation, competition and anti-monopoly policies. We analyse the impact of regulations on data localisation and on access to the source code. 3. *Digital commerce in international organisations and regional trade agreements*. We analyse key digital commerce provisions in RTAs, as well as trade-related issues being addressed in regional integration initiatives in different parts of the world. 4. *Digital commerce discussions at the World Trade Organization.* We summarise the evolution of WTO discussions on digital commerce, including in the lead up to the 12th WTO Ministerial Conference in 2019. We also analyse the plurilateral negotiations on trade-related aspects of e-commerce taking place among some WTO members. 5. *Digital commerce and Internet governance*. We tackle the interplay between digital governance and trade policy by providing an overview of the inclusion of digital regulatory aspects in trade negotiations: cybersecurity, encryption, privacy and data protection, and online consumer protection. The course includes an optional reading: Digital commerce: Emerging technologies and issues. We focus on four emerging technologies that revolutionise human activities, including digital commerce: the Internet of things, big data, artificial intelligence, and 3D printing.
