International trade agreements and internet governance

As trade is increasingly affected by digitalization and conducted over the Internet, it becomes important for policymakers to factor in how the Internet itself is governed and operated. International trade policies are developed in a very different manner than Internet policies. While the former involves State-to-State negotiations behind closed doors, Internet governance is characterized by multi-stakeholder dialogue.
