Digital sovereignty: a comparison of public data management strategies between France and Belgium in a cross-border context

The sovereignty challenges of public data in the face of the private sector lead local authorities to implement data management strategies. The study is based on a comparative analysis of the digital strategies of four urban local authorities between France and Belgium. These two countries are chara...

Les enjeux de souveraineté des données publiques face au secteur privé conduisent les collectivités territoriales à mettre en place des stratégies de gestion de la donnée. L'étude repose sur une analyse comparative des stratégies numériques de quatre collectivités urbaines entre France et Belgique. Ces deux pays se caractérisent par deux modèles d’organisation territoriale distincts : un système unitaire et un système fédéral. Les résultats révèlent une prise de conscience des enjeux de souveraineté par les acteurs qui élaborent des stratégies pour y répondre. En Belgique, la région wallonne bénéficie d’une grande capacité d'action visible à travers plusieurs initiatives régionales, tandis qu'en France, la région Grand Est dispose d’une autonomie limitée. L’analyse comparative met en évidence une répartition différente des rôles gestionnaire, régulateur et facilitateur entre les échelons territoriaux de chaque pays, ce qui soulève la question du périmètre pertinent pour la gestion des données publiques, soutenue par un cadre juridique européen. Enfin, le contexte transfrontalier de l’étude pose la question du partage de la donnée publique transfrontalière. Ceci constitue un défi majeur dont l’absence de réponse est susceptible d’être exploitée par les grandes entreprises du numérique.

description The sovereignty challenges of public data in the face of the private sector lead local authorities to implement data management strategies. The study is based on a comparative analysis of the digital strategies of four urban local authorities between France and Belgium.

The results reveal an awareness of sovereignty issues by the actors who develop strategies to address them. In Belgium, the Walloon Region benefits from a great capacity for action visible through several regional initiatives, while in France, the region has limited autonomy. The comparative analysis highlights a different distribution of management, regulatory, and facilitator roles among the territorial levels of each country, which raises the question of the relevant scope for the management of public data, supported by a European legal framework. Finally, the cross-border context of the study raises the question of sharing cross-border public data.
