*Theme *

Governance of digital and internet technologies involves a complex series
of actions carried out in cross-territorial space by multiple stakeholders,
transversing huge cultural, political, economic, and social differences.
Alongside international internet governance bodies such as ICANN, new
models for governance of digital communications platforms have emerged in
recent years including the European Commission’s Code of Conduct on
Countering Illegal Hate Speech and the Facebook Oversight Board. However,
at the moment, there is an absence of a single international
standard-setting body for digital communications or a unified framework for
governing digital public goods. Competition and contests over issues like
privacy, data colonialism, cybersecurity, and access to internet
infrastructure have exacerbated trade, economic and political tensions, and
have also significantly affected transborder and transcultural
communication flows.

This one-day hybrid preconference aims to explore policy and governance
strategies emerging from the development and use of digital communications
technologies and their impacts on transcultural communications, with a
focus on the themes of neo-globalization, digitalisation, and
platformisation.

It seeks to address some fundamental questions that may help in
strengthening digital governance approaches and facilitating safe,
productive, and inclusive transcultural communications:

   - What are the critical contests around digital governance of
   transnational and transcultural communications platforms? How do they
   exemplify differences in values and ethics between key stakeholders?
   -  What are the crucial components of digital governance strategies, and
   how are these evolving in light of platformisation?
   -   How can existing institutional, and largely national, models of
   communications governance adapt to this new context? To what extent are
   new, international models of governance addressing transcultural
   communications?
   -   What are the best practice examples of new digital governance
   modalities working in the public interest? How might these benefit public
   institutions, such as public service media
