[-] European Data Governance: Public and Private
Law Challenges
Chairs: Carmen Tamara Ungureanu, Carmen Moldovan
(Alexandru Ioan Cuza University of Iasi, Romania)
The development of the Internet has had a pervasive impact over
communications, technologies and human interaction, creating a
new environment and new resources. In the landscape of digital
transformation, data governance stands as a critical pillar, ensuring
the responsible management, processing, and protection of data
assets. Within the European context, data governance encounters a
myriad of challenges stemming from both public and private law
domains.
The aim of this special session is to explore the intricate interplay
between legal frameworks and data management practices,
focusing on the European Union's regulatory environment. On the
public law dimension, issues such as jurisdictional complexities,
regulatory compliance burdens, cross-border data transfers, and
data localization requirements pose significant hurdles. Meanwhile,
private law challenges encompass contractual arrangements,
delineation of liability and accountability, data disputes, and
safeguarding intellectual property rights.
Through the examination of these challenges, this session aims to
shed light on the complexities surrounding European data
governance and underscores the pressing need for a
comprehensive legal framework that reconciles public interest
objectives with private sector imperatives. By navigating these
challenges effectively, European stakeholders can foster a data
governance ecosystem that promotes innovation, protects individual
rights, and upholds the rule of law in the digital age.
[-] Recent Developments in the Conceptualization
and Operationalization of Resilience at National and
Euro-Atlantic Levels
Chairs: Arpad Todor (National University of Political and
Administrative Studies - SNSPA, Romania). Jeni Campineanu
(Research and Training Department, The Euro-Atlantic Resilience
Centre, E-ARC, Romania)
The analysis of scientific literature and strategic documents over the
past decade reveals an exponential increase in the relevance of
resilience and the utilization of the resilience concept, with a wide
gradient of definitions, as well as the recognition of resilience as a
concept that focuses public policies at the European and Euro-
Atlantic levels. Recent projects aimed at assessing resilience levels
and implementing public policies to enhance institutional resilience
have highlighted multiple challenges that must be overcome for the
integration of a systemic approach. This panel will bring together
contributions that analyze recent developments, conceptual
analyses, and public policies aimed at improving institutional
resilience and beyond.
The panel is based on the Resilient project "Enhancing Analytical
and Administrative Capacity for Implementing the Resilience
Dimension in the Functioning of Central Public Institutions
(REZILIENT)" (project code SIPOCA 1272 / MySMIS code 158627).
The project's overall objective was to develop and introduce a
common system and a set of uniform standards in public
administration regarding the operationalization of the concept of
institutional resilience. The final outcome was the optimization of
relevant decision-making processes for society, through the creation
of a general framework that fosters the development of a culture of
resilience at the national level, as well as the development of
methods and measures to respond to vulnerabilities regarding
societal, institutional, and governance resilience.
The panel is open to proposals addressing:
•
Social resilience and the factors affecting it during shocks;
•
Resilience of governance systems in the face of new
challenges;
•
Resilience of various socio-economic structures to shocks
induced by digitization and modern transformations;
•
The role of resilience-centered approaches in strengthening
national and international defense systems;
•
Institutional resilience and the dangers of institutional
conservatism;
•
Policies and concrete measures to strengthen the resilience
capacity of socio-economic systems.
