1、 Introduction

The importance and urgency of formulating international rules for the digital space were discussed, and it was pointed out that the rapid development of digital technology has a profound impact on the existing international rule system. The international rules of digital space involve multiple industries and actors, and require the establishment of norms and guidelines recognized by all parties. International organizations play an important role in digital space governance and serve as a crucial platform for stakeholders to participate in rule negotiations. The formulation of rules in the digital space is an interdisciplinary issue that involves fields such as information and communication, international law, international politics, and international economics. Current research mainly focuses on the changes and development of rules in cyberspace, but the tracking of digital technology concepts is relatively lagging behind. The concept of digital space is beginning to emerge, which is more in line with the context of digital economy and digital society. The role of functional international organizations in building international rules for digital space has not been given sufficient attention. The OECD, as a typical functional international organization focusing on the international economic field, has played a prominent role in the construction of digital rules. This article takes the OECD as an example to analyze the unique role and development direction of functional international organizations in constructing digital rules.

2、 The necessity of functional international organizations participating in the formulation of digital rules

Emphasis was placed on the necessity of functional international organizations in the formulation of international rules in the digital space. These organizations maintain international order by formulating and implementing rules within specialized fields. With the widespread application of digital technology in fields such as economy, trade, and politics, functional international organizations such as the OECD G20、 BRICS countries, APEC, and others have begun to actively participate in the construction of digital rules. Their necessity in the formulation of digital rules is mainly reflected in three aspects:

3、 Specific measures taken by the OECD to establish digital rules

Detailed introduction of the specific measures taken by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) in building international rules for digital space. As an international organization composed of 38 market economy countries, OECD plays an important role in cross cutting issues such as digital economy and cybersecurity. Since the mid-1970s, the OECD has been paying attention to the impact of information and communication technology on the economy and society, and has issued relevant policy documents.

4、 The direction of constructing digital rules for functional organizations

Through case analysis of the OECD, this paper explores the effectiveness and development direction of functional international organizations in constructing digital rules. The main content includes:

5、 Conclusion

Emphasis was placed on the new challenges brought by the development of digital technology to global governance, highlighting the importance of functional organizations in the formulation of digital rules. As a representative of functional organizations, the OECD has demonstrated its specialized advantages by constructing norms that are compatible with the development of digital technology in member countries, covering areas such as digital security, economy, data flow, and artificial intelligence. At the same time, the OECD actively cooperates with other international organizations to form unique governance concepts and mechanisms. The article calls for functional organizations to play a greater role in global digital rule making, promote rule diffusion, and eliminate governance gaps. China should pay attention to this trend, promote the formulation of digital rules, enhance its voice, establish collaborative relationships with functional organizations, promote the construction of a global digital rule system, take the initiative, and promote the construction of a community with a shared future for mankind.
