ABSTRACT
In a time of ever more rapid and extensive technological change, the task of transitioning to new technologies presents each nation with a set of critical challenges and choices. What will be the most effective response will depend both on the particular capabilities, legal frameworks, and political realities in each national setting, and the ways in which global shifts which shape and sharpen those challenges are expressed. Nevertheless, whilst responses may differ, it is possible to identify a set of key challenges which each national community will need to face as a matter of urgency.
