In Digital Empires: The Global Battle to Regulate Technology, Columbia Law School’s Anu Bradford delivers an authoritative analysis of the global struggle for influence between three competing technology regulation models. Published by Oxford University Press, the book articulates the central premise that the digital economy is defined by these rival frameworks: the market-driven US approach, the state-driven Chinese model, and the rights-driven EU system. This work is essential for professionals, policymakers, academics, and business leaders operating at the intersection of technology, international law, and geopolitics. The book seeks to answer several key questions: How do these regulatory systems clash on the global stage? What are the mechanisms through which they expand their influence, such as the EU's "Brussels Effect" and China's "Digital Silk Road"? And how are global technology companies forced to navigate the conflicting geopolitical demands imposed by these powerful "digital empires"?
