How the next president can bridge the internet-cyber gap (Cameron F. Kerry, Brookings)

In a recent paper, I reflect on my experience in the Obama administration and draw lessons about policymaking on issues for that space. As the General Counsel at the Commerce Department—where I performed the duties of the Deputy Secretary for the majority of the more than four years I was there, and those of the acting Secretary for a spell—I found myself drawn into issues like surveillance, norms for state behavior, and security far more than I could have anticipated going in. These matters have significant effects on other issues that are core to the Commerce Department mission, such as technological innovation, competitiveness and international data flows, and global internet governance.
