Abstract
This article’s main purpose is to empirically analyze the importance of digitalization in the agenda of the Group of Twenty (G20). The starting point is observation based on quantitative and qualitative analysis of documents and interviews with experts, according to which this issue – initially bound to the economic domain and treated marginally by the G20 – gained importance during the presidency of the Group held by China (2016) and Germany (2017). By breaking off from tutelage of economics between 2016 and 2019, digitalization became a priority in the interstate deliberation space and basis for the vision of “interconnected world” promoted by the G20, based on adopting a broad approach to transformations in cyberspace and allowing for linking of economic and financial issues with development policy, security, and protection of civil rights.
