'This timely book is essential reading for all intrigued by the great transition from analogue to digital trade rules. The collection and its authors take stock of rule-making in major jurisdictions, preferential trade agreements and current work at the World Trade Organization. It offers prospects for regulating Big Data and Artificial Intelligence in services and intellectual property, taking into account the protection of human rights and of data protection in the process of global norm diffusion. Challenges and prospects are ably mapped. The book will assist scholars and policy-makers in harnessing digitalization in coming years.' Thomas Cottier, Word Trade Institute, University of Bern
