In this part of Bulletin 2021, Julian Kamasa focuses on Switzerland's role in co-shaping the digital space. The digital space has become a policy field like land, sea, air, and space, but one where private-sector actors play a dominant role. It is also caught up in the competition between great powers. According to the author, Switzerland, for which an open, free, and rule-based digital space is essential, faces the central challenge of preserving its own values and scope of action in foreign policy in a little developed, novel policy field. The Digital Foreign Policy Strategy 2021-2024 provides useful guidelines in this regard.
