Global Tech Lobbying

"Global Tech Lobbying" explores how major technology companies, particularly those in software and AI, are influencing public policy worldwide through sophisticated lobbying strategies. It reveals how these firms shape legislation, regulatory frameworks, and public opinion, prompting critical questions about transparency and accountability. The book investigates both direct engagement with policymakers and indirect methods, such as funding think tanks to sway public discourse.

The book highlights the uneven playing field created by extensive tech lobbying, potentially marginalizing smaller entities and the public. For instance, the rise of AI has intensified lobbying efforts as companies navigate regulatory uncertainties and ethical considerations. "Global Tech Lobbying" unfolds systematically, examining the history of tech lobbying, case studies on data privacy and AI governance, and potential policy reforms to promote broader stakeholder engagement.

Drawing on policy documents, lobbying disclosures, and expert interviews, the book adopts a fact-based, analytical stance, accessible to a broad audience. It offers valuable insights for policymakers, academics, and anyone interested in the intersection of technology and politics, providing a comparative perspective on how different regions grapple with the influence of powerful tech corporations and advocating for a more equitable technological future through increased transparency.
