Roundtable: Closing the geographical gap
The study of cyber-related issues and the number of policy processes and initiatives addressing cyberspace have grown exponentially over the past decade. Yet, the scholarship on the topic as well as policy debates are dominated by a small group of countries in what some call Global North. This session aims to answer: What are the main obstacles to a more inclusive debate about cyber and what are the instruments and mechanisms at our disposal to make this happen?
The Closing the Gap conference is organised by the EU Cyber Direct project together with 12 other institutions from around the world and in cooperation with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Belgium. The aim of the conference is to contribute to closing various gaps that underpin the debates about cyber-related issues: between scholars and practitioners, different generations of scholars (emerging talents and established researchers), disciplines (law, political science, international relations, economics, IT, media studies), sectors (government, private sector, academia, NGOs) and regions (Global South-North).
