Networks for Regulation: Privacy Commissioners in a Changing World

Abstract This article discusses the attempt to develop global data protection regulatory activity through the network of privacy commissioners and their agencies at the highest international levels. It describes the trajectory of forming a common outlook, identity, and infrastructure for regulatory enforcement amongst data protection authorities (DPAs) in recent years, and considers the value of analytic approaches to carry research forward.
