Faced with the multiple challenges posed by the digital transition, different regions, countries, and communities around the world have conceived strategies to uphold their “digital sovereignty”. Yet, the meanings and implications of such digital sovereignty are unclear, and concepts that may be appropriate in one context may be misleading or obfuscate a needed public debate in another. This research aims to explore the specific challenges of the advance of digital technologies in the Southern Cone through an alternative conceptual approach: the Latin American School of Autonomy. It will attempt to outline the main barriers facing the region in this area and elucidate possible ways forward in the path towards digital autonomy. In a context of international fragmentation around the governance of digital technologies and rising US-China technological competition, the strategy that emerges as the most appropriate for Southern Cone countries in the coming years is that of limited containment.
