Who Leads in Cyberspace? Democratic Values and the EU–US Digital Future with Prof. Elaine Fahey

In this episode of the European Dialogue, brought to you by the EU-VALUES Network, sits down with Professor Elaine Fahey (City Law School, City St. Georges, University of London) to explore the fast-evolving landscape of EU–US cybersecurity law and policy. From shifting priorities in digital security to transatlantic tensions and cooperation, we discuss how global governance is being reshaped by technological threats, and by the political responses they provoke. We dive into Elaine's recent research, including: 🔹 The Evolution of EU–US Cybersecurity Law and Policy (2024): https://doi.org/10.1080/07036337.2024.2411240 🔹 Democratic Leadership through Transatlantic Cooperation for Trade and Technology Reforms through the EU-US TTC Model? In: Petersmann, U. & Steinbach, A. (Eds.), Constitutionalism and Transnational Governance Failures. World Trade Institute Advanced Studies, 16. (pp. 279-307): https://doi.org/10.1163/9789004693722_012 We also discuss how cybercrime has evolved into broader strategic cybersecurity concerns, the contrasting EU and US approaches to digital sovereignty and internal security, and how the Trade and Technology Council (TTC) is playing a role — albeit controversial — in this landscape. We also ask: - Are civil society and parliaments being left out of critical cyber governance decisions? - Can the EU and US build a truly democratic framework for digital cooperation? - What lies ahead for transatlantic leadership in a world shaped by AI, trade wars, and cyber risks?
