The Book The paramount role of data as a resource and driver for innovation within modern digitalised societies is increasingly being acknowledged by policymakers. Consequently, states, supranational institutions, and international organisations (e.g. OECD) find themselves in a global ‘competition' to devise risk-sensible approaches of data governance and thereby promote innovation to the benefit of societies. Said competition manifests in the form of Global Data Strategies, ranging between priorities of global standard-setting and suitable legal frameworks. The strategies do and will shape the political discussion and determine both the usage of data and the associated societal value. In particular, the legislative initiatives launched under the EU Data Strategy are likely to evolve into benchmarks with a global outreach.
