The regulation of electronic signatures in the United States and Russia was analyzed within a post-Cold War policy transfer perspective. The aim of the study was to determine how both countries conceptualized electronic signatures within their respective political and e-commerce regimes. Since any significant regulation of the Internet has global ramifications, we wanted to establish whether American and Russian regulations governing electronic signatures adhered to the norms promoted by the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL), which strives to harmonize international commercial law. It was found that the United States has wholeheartedly embraced UNCITRAL's electronic signature principles, while the Russian Federation has adopted a nationalistic posture that differs significantly from UNCITRAL's globalist principles. This finding goes counter to the policy transfer perspective which holds that in international communication, policy diffuses from powerful economic and political centers to the periphery of poor and emerging economies. ..PAT.-Unpublished Manuscript [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
