		<link>https://circleid.com/postslearning-from-history-the-potsdam-call-on-autonomous-weapon-systems</link>
		<description><![CDATA[Eighty years ago, in August 1945, the world saw hope and horror. On August 1, 1945, just weeks after the adoption of the UN Charter, the leaders of the United States, the United Kingdom and the Soviet Union signed the Potsdam Agreement, which produced hope for a peaceful post-war world. Only some days later, the world saw the horror of nuclear bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. A cold war followed. <a href="https://circleid.com/postslearning-from-history-the-potsdam-call-on-autonomous-weapon-systems">More...</a>]]></description>

		<link>https://circleid.com/postsbad-news-from-the-2025-munich-security-conference-cyberspace-gets-weaponized</link>
		<description><![CDATA[There was one unpleasant message from the 2025 Munich Security Conference (MSC), which will have probably far reaching consequences for the governance of the digital space: Cyberspace will be governed by the rules of geo-political conflicts. And it is a battlefield in the 21st century wars. Both in the "Bayerischer Hof" and in the "IHK Munich", where the 11th edition of the Munich Cybersecurity Conference (MCSC) took place, controversial debates circled around the question of how civilian and military use of digital services will interplay in the years to come. <a href="https://circleid.com/postsbad-news-from-the-2025-munich-security-conference-cyberspace-gets-weaponized">More...</a>]]></description>

		<title> Internet Governance Outlook 2025: Unbordered Spaces vs. Bordered Places (Featured Blog)</title>
		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://circleid.com/postsinternet-governance-outlook-2025-unbordered-spaces-vs-bordered-places</guid>
		<link>https://circleid.com/postsinternet-governance-outlook-2025-unbordered-spaces-vs-bordered-places</link>
		<description><![CDATA[At the end of the 20th century, Manuel Castells gave an outlook into the "Network Society" of the 21st century. One of his forecasts was that the world would move from "bordered places" (sovereign nation-states) to "unbordered spaces" (global networks). A quarter of a century later, we see that he was right and wrong. We do now have "unbordered spaces." We can communicate around the globe anytime with anybody, regardless of frontiers. But the "bordered places" did not disappear. More and more states are insisting on their "digital sovereignty." <a href="https://circleid.com/postsinternet-governance-outlook-2025-unbordered-spaces-vs-bordered-places">More...</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Despite global polarization, recent UN cyber diplomacy has achieved three significant agreements in 2024: a cyber attack reporting system, a convention against cybercrime, and a "Global Digital Compact." These successes show that consensus on global issues is possible, though the vague wording of agreements raises concerns about their long-term effectiveness in ensuring security and peace. <a href="https://circleid.com/postsun-cyber-diplomacy-poc">More...</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In today's world, it has become axiomatic that drastic change can occur overnight. One of those cherished concepts at risk is the idea of "One World &ndash; One Internet." In the wake of the war in Ukraine, the geopolitical tensions on the existing Internet have increased. If the "One Internet" will survive the 2020s is increasingly an open question, as good, bad, and not-very-helpful intentions strive to pull it apart. <a href="https://circleid.com/posts20230606-fragment-or-not-fragment-is-this-the-question-will-one-world-one-internet-survive-todays-geopolitical-stress-tests">More...</a>]]></description>
