Résumé documentaire — langue originale

The emergence of digital trade is dramatically changing how international commerce is conducted today. However, current digital trade governance remains anchored in an outdated World Trade Organization (WTO) framework largely designed for a pre-digital trade era. This governance structure has been unable to respond effectively to emerging issues in digital trade. Simultaneously, states and regional blocs are developing divergent regulatory models that reflect their sovereign digital interests and generate significant governance fragmentation. Using the doctrinal method alongside a comparative approach, this paper examines the deficiencies in current WTO-centered digital trade governance models and argues that the governance system is evolving from traditional multilateral trade structures toward hybrid, sovereignty-driven systems involving multiple actors. The paper advocates a reconceptualized framework capable of balancing digital integration, regulatory sovereignty, innovation, and effective global governance coordination in an evolving digital economy.
