The title is the message: We live in the age of „digital interdependence“, says the Final Report of the UN High Level Panel on Digital Cooperation (HLP.DC). Since the days of the UN World Summit on the Information Society (2002 – 2005) the world has changed. Two decades ago, we discussed the Internet revolution. This was seen more as a technical issue with some political implications. Today, digitalization has penetrated all areas of life and there is less and less difference anymore between offline and online. Cyberspace is everywhere.

In the Internet there is no single solution, no „silver bullet“. With this publication we want to show a broad variety of different approaches and opinions. This could help to broaden our minds, to deepen our understanding and to contribute to the way forward.
