Emerging Technologies and Global Governance
Québec City, May 8-10, 2025
Emerging technologies are rapidly transforming global politics, raising both new challenges and opportunities for governance actors. Technologies like satellites, artificial intelligence, digital platforms, geo-engineering, and vaccines are not just reshaping existing problems like climate change and tax avoidance, but also giving rise to entirely new transnational issues, such as the proliferation of hate speech and disinformation. As these technologies evolve, they also disrupt pre-existing power dynamics. Public and private actors controlling key technologies can notably leverage them in various ways to exert their influence globally. This workshop aims to explore and critically analyze the multifaceted impacts of emerging technologies on global governance.
