Research On Security Governance Of US-European Cross-Border Data Flows From The Perspective Of Structural Power Dispersion Theory

Since entering the era of digital economy,the rapid development of big data,cloud computing,artificial intelligence and other technologies has produced a large amount of data,which has become an important factor of production and basic strategic resources for all countries.However,data is also a fragile and controversial resource,and the increasingly severe security risks of cross-border data flows are accompanied by the unpredictable international situation.At present,The United States and the European Union as the main regulatory actors around the cross-border data flow security governance rules intensified game.The dangers of cross-border data flow security risks have had a negative impact on politics,science and technology,economy and society,and the need for governance has become increasingly prominent.From the current situation of governance,the United States and the European Union have formed their own distinctive management mode and attempt to expand the influence on the global stage,but there are another part of the sovereign state of cross-border data flows caused by security concerns,too much emphasis on “localization data storage”,or to take the “restrictions on cross-border data flows” extreme measures,It blocks cross-border data flow,which also creates barriers in the process of global cross-border data flow.In the era of digital economy,it is bound to inhibit the potential and vitality of the development of countries or enterprises,bringing new cross-border data flow security problems.In essence,data is the main source and emerging resource of knowledge,and data has possessed the characteristics of power since it was produced.Security issues and governance demands caused by cross-border data flows are not only economic issues in the field of production structure and knowledge structure,but also power issues.This kind of power is exactly the structural power proposed by Susan Strange,which is perpetuating and alienating traditional power relations through the cross-border free flow of data.More importantly,all kinds of security problems caused by the cross-border data flow not only change the power components,the nature of government and sovereignty,but also lead to the asymmetry of the relationship between various subjects,resulting in structural power asymmetry.At the same time,the rapid rise of multinational corporations has led to the diversification and decentralization of political authority in this field.However,the authority of sovereign states has not declined in the process of cross-border data flow security governance.National authority,capacity and responsibility are all essential elements in the process of cross-border data flow security governance,but its governance mode is facing remodeling and adjustment.In the context of the in-depth development of digital economy and data globalization,governance in this field has opened a new power game space between the state and the market as well as between states.In terms of the present,the United States and the European Union as a cross-border data flows the behavior of the two most important in the treatment of the body,according to its value preference,based on the stern range of the proposed“wealth,security,freedom and justice” four values out of the first order,and formed the European data defensive strategy pattern and the United States attacking strategy mode,Constitute the two dominant patterns of international cross-border data flow governance system.However,due to the complexity of interest demands and the difference of value identity,there are irreconcilable differences in governance subjects,governance objectives and governance methods between the two regulatory systems,which is in fact the comprehensive result of the structural power resource gap and value preference between the US and Europe.Existing rules of international data management system is still in the "blank" period,the us and Europe is using its power and resources advantage,tried to scramble for safety structural power in the treatment of the cross-border data flows,in order to enhance its voice in the field of safety management in cross-border data flows,cross-border data flow safety management has become the rule in the us and Europe in the field of the "new frontier" of competition game.Based on this,this study will focus on cross-border data flows at the national level of safety management,focus on safety management of power in the composition of a cross-border data flows,in the us and Europe in the us and Europe is emphatically discussed the main security issues in the face of the cross-border data flows,is how to through the use of structural power to ensure internal security,strengthening the external competition,and what kind of institutional system is constructed to respond to the internal demand for cross-border data flow under the global economy,and further explore the circulation and interaction between market and state power in the security governance of cross-border data flow,clarify the rules of operation,and point out the direction for the security governance of cross-border data flow in China.
