What is the narrative we’re seeing around the Brussels Effect and what are some of its limitations? How do varying geopolitical environments impact data regulation? As deliberation around tech regulation and adoption of data governance frameworks increases globally, Dr. Ingrid Schneider shares her expertise on the German approach to this question and how it is linked to the EU’s take on it. We also explore developing trends in regulation of data across India, Brazil, Mexico and the EU, and differences in these approaches. 

Professor Ingrid Schneider is a distinguished political scientist and professor at the University of Hamburg in Germany. Her expertise lies in the intricate relationship between digitalization, society, and political dimensions. Currently, she is actively involved in a project funded by the European Union that aims to promote sustainable development through research on the effects of digitisation in Mexico, Brazil, India, Indonesia, South Africa and Europe.
