The Brussels Effect is a theoretical framework that explains how European regulatory measures extend beyond the EU’s borders, shaping global legal standards. This article introduces the concept to Iranian legal literature, examining its forms, applications, and underlying conditions. It also explores its relevance in the field of personal data protection. The study highlights how European regulatory standards, driven by market influence, have both formally and informally shaped laws beyond Europe, establishing EU law as a global benchmark. Given Iran’s need for a structured legal framework on personal data protection, understanding this phenomenon—along with its key drivers and the regulatory approaches of other countries—can help Iranian legislators develop effective policies in this area.
