About this title

Synopsis

This prescient book explores how the process of European integration is becoming increasingly intertwined with digital innovation policies, regulations and infrastructures. It discusses how developments around digital data and technologies such as AI are driven by, and at the same time contribute to shape, distinctively European institutions, identities, practices and values.

Leading experts investigate digital innovations, policies and regulations in Europe, also by contrast with parallel developments in other jurisdictions such as the US, to reveal the imaginaries, visions, and expectations underpinning the so-called ‘European way’ to digital innovation. Engaging with ongoing debates about digital regulation, governance, values and ethics, the volume examines how ‘Europe’ is re-imagined and recast, or contested and unmade, alongside the emergence of novel digital worlds, and ultimately investigates the mutual reconfigurations of information and power in modern knowledge-intensive societies.

Project Europe is an essential resource for scholars and students of Science & Technology Studies (STS), European politics and policy, and cognate disciplines in the Social Sciences & the Humanities. Presenting both theoretical analyses and empirical case studies, it is also beneficial to policymakers and practitioners in regulation and governance, digital technology law and public policy.
