Political cleavages and the global privacy regime

Since 2000, there was a huge increase in the number of jurisdictions with privacy laws. While some of the jurisdictions had comprehensive laws which covered both the private and public sectors, others had laws which only covered either the public or the private sector. Yet others had independent Data Protection Agencies (DPAs). In addition, some jurisdictions implemented their privacy laws earlier than the rest. Existing political economy models were under-determined to account for the heterogeneity in equilibrium of the global privacy regime. This paper studied the effects of trade in services, and of civil society linkages, between the Schengen area and third-party jurisdictions on the global privacy regime.
