Center on Democracy, Development and the Rule of Law (CDDRL)
Stanford University's Center on Democracy, Development and the Rule of Law (CDDRL), part of the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies (FSI), engages in research, training, teaching, and outreach, and organizes intellectual and policy dialogues aimed at increasing public understanding of economic and political development. Founded in 2002, CDDRL collaborates with scholars, policymakers, and practitioners around the world to advance collective knowledge about the linkages between democracy, sustainable economic development, and the rule of law.

The Global Digital Policy Incubator (GDPi) was founded in 2017 with the mission to inspire policy and governance innovations that reinforce democratic values, universal human rights, and the rule of law in the digital realm. Its purpose is to serve as a collaboration hub for the development of norms, guidelines, and laws that enhance freedom, security, and trust in the global digital ecosystem. The overarching question that guides this initiative: How do we help governments and private-sector technology companies establish governance norms, policies, and processes that allow citizens and society to reap the benefits of digital technology for economic development and the exercise of universal human rights, while protecting against the risks for personal, national, and international security?

The Global Digital Policy Incubator provides a vehicle for global multi-stakeholder collaboration between technologists, governments, private sector companies, diplomats, international organizations, academics, and civil society for/towards a shared purpose: to develop norms and policies that enhance security, promote economic development, and reinforce respect for human rights in our global trans-border digital ecosystem. We aim to reinforce existing frameworks of international human rights law and international humanitarian law, but also to lead the way in articulating how to apply these norms and values in a global digital context. Our goal is to facilitate the development of policies and processes that meet the societal challenges that arise from digitization and technological innovation.
