Acts of International Organizations on Digital Economic Integration

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This paper explores the regulatory frameworks and legal instruments of key international organizations (IOs) in fostering digital economic integration. Through a comparative legal-institutional analysis of acts and policy instruments issued by the United Nations, Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC), Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), European Union (EU), African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), and Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), the study identifies trends, challenges, and synergies in regional and global digital trade governance. The research highlights varying levels of institutional maturity, digital inclusivity, and regulatory harmonization across IOs. The results underscore the importance of interoperable standards and collaborative approaches to bridge regulatory fragmentation and support cohesive digital trade governance worldwide.
