As the world becomes increasingly digital, both the greatest opportunities and the biggest threats emanate from the digital and technological space. Technology centrality is central to both governance and economic growth, and India’s experiences with placing ‘digital’ at the core of its growth story could be a potential game-changer in the region and beyond. As innovation becomes the buzzword around which economies of the future are conceptualised, what India says and does in the cyberspace domain has profound implications for the entire world, and particularly the IndoPacific region.
This chapter was originally published by the Perth USAsia Center.
