This course aims to assist permanent missions and international

protection and the implication of emerging technologies to digital trade,
such as the Internet of Things and 3D printing.

*Course outline*

1. *Global digital flows*: Business models and technical enablers. 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.
