First International Workshop on the Extraterritoriality of Data(ExDa2019)
Sep 19 ~ 20, 2019, Tallinn, Estonia
Call for Papers
This year will see the first Estonian Data Embassy open and fully operational in Luxembourg. The promise of extraterritorially storing backups of critical data and information systems (in so-called ‘data embassies’) - and operating them from a secure data centre outside of a State’s own territorial borders - will continue to elicit more interest from governments that are today faced with increasing, multifaceted uncertainties and disruptions: from cyber-attacks and natural hazards, to legitimate threats to State sovereignty and territorial integrity.
But in doing so, the Data Embassy begins to open up a much wider conversation at the intersection of cybersecurity, geopolitics and law. Debates are coalescing around the extraterritoriality of data (Eichensehr, 2017) - from nation-state claims over data sovereignty to disputes over jurisdiction when storing government data in the cloud - and the extensive impact this may have upon our long-held assumptions over contemporary politics, diplomacy and law.
To date, academic debate on extraterritorial data storage has remained scant - even more so when considering the conceptual nature of the data embassy. The aim of this workshop, therefore, is to bring together a wide variety of interdisciplinary voices and perspectives in order to drive forward this emerging agenda.
