      abstract = {With sheer petabytes of data being transferred, re-used,  and analysed daily on a global scale, data sharing  ecosystems worldwide – bearing economic and societal  benefits at the same time – have become hyper-complex.  Lawmakers and enforcement agencies have to match the speed  of the ‘moving target’ data-related regulation and cope  with the challenge of not only sticking to a domestic view,  but (by design) also take account of the international and  comparative effects of their respective policies. Globally,  we see processes of convergence and divergence alike.  Taking it therefore a step further: Are we already on the  verge of a truly Global Data Law or are competing legal  regimes rather bound to exacerbate the geopolitical claims  to digital sovereignty? This two-fold report presents the  findings of two conferences which examined the issues  arising from this question. The conferences featured  distinguished experts from multi-disciplinary legal  backgrounds on data policy and law. While the first  conference in Accra, Ghana, was devoted to data protection  architectures and cultures on the African continent, the  second – in Munich, Germany – provided holistic insights  into comparative research and highlighted the  interdependencies of data (protection) law regimes  worldwide.},
