The rise of the United Nations promises international regulation that will affect the technology industry in unforeseen ways. The decline of American dominance, the increasing willingness of the United States to defer sovereignty to the UN, the rise of challenges to American power from other regions of the world and the political cover for implementing worldwide change through the UN all argue for the emergence of a new world order.

This new world order promises to regulate, tax and spend on an unprecedented scale without local accountability. The response of business leaders should be as advocates for their industries by engaging directly with these international policy makers and regulators. By influencing regulatory policy in the early stages of its formation and leading the establishment of these global networks, business can advantage themselves and their industries.
