Governing through metrics in the digital age
Building on insights from research on surveillance and valuation in the context of digitization, this article analyses the growing use of algorithmically driven metrics that help quantify human conduct and discusses some of its implications. As such, metrics operate both as technologies of surveillance and providers of an imaginary of social values which is put into play in the governance of people, organizations and societies. To illustrate, the…
Assembling Transnational Policing
Building on studies of transnational policing, security and digitization, we develop an assemblage-theoretical framework to explore perceptions of time in contemporary policing efforts. We use the concepts of techno imaginaries and policing assemblage to examine the articulation of temporality and multi-scalar connections between humans and non-humans in policing, which has become increasingly pluralised and digitised. We draw on documentary rese…
Three Sides of the Same Coin
This article explores how datafied transparency resulting from the use of facial recognition technologies creates different risks and dynamics of power and control. Theoretically, the article draws on Foucauldian studies and assemblage theory and analyzes how the power specific to facial recognition technologies rests on algorithmic governmentalities and interaction of humans and technologies in surveillant assemblages. Empirically, the article e…
Education by the Numbers and the Making of Society
The images connected to geographies of taxation matter as they can become aligned to wider political projects, programs and technologies aimed at shaping and anticipating the future of tax governance. Shaped by the classifications of their designers, such lists operate as technologies of knowledge condensation, comparison, organization and coordination. The metaphor of 'Tax Haven' has dominated the way of representing the problems of tax avoidanc…
Policing Corruption Post- and Pre-Crime
How are we to understand the proliferating attempts amongst transnational corporations (TNCs) at collectively reducing the risk of corruption in business operations and interactions with state officials around the world? How are these endeavors linked to transformations of public and private authority in the global political economy? Premised on the observation that corruption is globalized and the growing efforts at tackling it equally so, this …
Corporate responses to stakeholder activism
Purpose Corporations are increasingly expected to act responsibly. The purpose of this paper is to examine two types of corporate responses to these expectations: overt and covert responses. Specifically, it examines oil companies’ involvement in multi-stakeholder initiatives and sponsorships (overt responses) and their monitoring of critics, including non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and activist organisations (covert responses). Design/met…
Numerical operations, transparency illusions and the datafication of governance
Building on conceptual insights from the history and sociology of numbers, media and surveillance studies, and theories of governance and risk, this article analyzes the forms of transparency produced by the use of numbers in social life. It examines what it is about numbers that often makes their ‘truth claims’ so powerful, investigates the role that numerical operations play in the production of retrospective, real-time and anticipatory forms o…
Introduction
This special issue of the European Journal of Social Theory investigates the phenomenon of transparency, including the spectacle that accompanies transparency projects launched by contemporary organizations and institutions, be they public, private or inbetweens. The title ‘Logics of transparency in late modernity: paradoxes, mediation and governance’ alludes to the historicity of the transparency ideal, its paradoxes, forms of mediation and gove…
The politics of transparency and the calibration of knowledge in the digital age
This article analyses the complex work of human actors and technologies that goes into producing that which appears to us as 'transparent'. Drawing on studies of governance and surveillance, affordance theory, actor-network theory and sociological work on numbers, we analyse the role played by mediating technologies in the production of transparency and relate it to the question of how knowledge is created, recycled and modified in organizational…
The power of numbers in global governance
What Do Numbers Do in Transnational Governance
This study examines how numbers in transnational governance constitute actors, objects, and relationships, including relationships of power. We review the existing literatures on numbers for insights relevant to their role in transnational governance, including the ontology of numbers, the history of numbers and their role in governance. On this basis, we set out the main distinctive ways that numbers are implicated in transnational governance. W…
The power of performance indices in the global politics of anti-corruption
Managing corruption risks
This article investigates the emerging engagement of private actors and specifically Western corporations in international anti-corruption, drawing on Foucauldian studies of governmentality. It explores this engagement as governing practices that have emanated quite independently from the inter-state system commonly understood to be at the core of the anti-corruption regime. It demonstrates how corporate anti-corruption ties in with a relatively …
Global Interconnectedness - Local Authorities and Transnational Networking
This article argues that, in their continuous and proclaimed efforts at "modernizing" themselves, public sector organizations, also at the sub-national level, increasingly envision the new media as an object of policy making and intervention. At the same time, this focus on the new media facilitates transborder networking, taking the shape of globalizing webs that connect the actors internationally through pro- cesses af mediation and with implic…

Cosmopolitan Aspirations
A wide variety of supranational organizations and networks are currently promoting educational initiatives aimed at disseminating particular values and notions of citizenship in Latin America via new media and in particular the Internet. These organizations exercise a growing influence on educational objectives and techniques in the region. Despite the fact that access is still modest among many sectors in Latin America, the hope is that these ne…
Remodeling the Transnational Political Realm
Drawing on theories of governance and governmentality, this article investigates the growing array of transnational organizational forms that create, share, and provide knowledge and expertise about various aspects of information and communication technologies (ICTs) and e-modernization. It analyzes the characteristics and role of transnational partnerships and transnational best-practice schemes. These organizational forms, viewed as instantiati…

Managing Political Communications
Governmentality, Globalization, and Local Practice
Since the 1980s, local governments in many parts of the world have undergone major institutional reforms. Shaped by a wide range of economic, political, and social trends, these changes have been driven by a particular blend of global and local dynamics. On the one hand, they have been contingent upon a globally dominant discourse that has tirelessly pointed out the devastating consequences of public-sector growth. On the other hand, the particul…
Governmental Mismanagement and Symbolic Violence
Departing from a conceptualisation of corruption as a form of symbolic violence, this article analyses the character and impact of the discourses about corruption which were produced in Yucatán in the beginning of the 1990s. The discourses produced by official and oppositional forces are scrutinised against the background of the federal government's neoliberal policies and the sociopolitical situation in the region during 1992 and 1993. The analy…

The Pursuit of Peace Has no Place for Petty Dissension
Here, the resolution on 'Sport and Peace' as passed by the German Sport Federation (DSB) and the paper introducing this motion are reproduced. Every normal human being, especially after the bitter experience of the last war, wants peace. The political debate concerning the best way to guarantee peace should be carried on in political parties and parliaments, but not in sport clubs and associations. In sporting organisations, only interests of spo…
