Appearance in “Content control and authoritarian regionalism | Danielle Flonk and Stephanie Hofmann.”
On April 24, 2025, the Global Governance Programme EUI released a YouTube video titled “Content control and authoritarian regionalism | Danielle Flonk and Stephanie Hofmann,” featuring FLONK Daniëlle, Assistant Professor, Hitotsubashi Institute for Advanced Study (HIAS). In the video, Dr. Flonk explains how authoritarian states such as China and Russia are shaping the digital order through international institutions. Dr. Flonk notes that China and Russia aim to shift internet governance away from multi‑stakeholder settings toward intergovernmental bodies where they wield greater influence, and that they prioritize “information security” over “cybersecurity.” She also points out that both countries share a common strategy of investing heavily in regional alliances and international forums to export norms of censorship and digital control.
