Exporting the European third way
The European Commission has increasingly foregrounded digital policy within its overall agenda, promoting a ‘value-driven’ digital transformation as a distinct normative alternative to the dominant U.S. and Chinese digital models. The narrative of a ‘European Third Way’ is a core element of the EU’s discourse on ‘digital sovereignty’ and its external digital agenda. A key instrument through which the EU seeks to shape the global digital order is …
The past, present and future of research on communication policy and technology

From multistakeholderism to digital sovereignty
Since the early 2000s, the multistakeholder governance approach has been the reference model for transnational internet governance, reaching far beyond the original field of technical coordination and standard‐setting. But over the last decade many countries, including democracies supportive of multistakeholderism, have adopted measures to strengthen their digital sovereignty. Thereby, they have been advancing discourses and practices that reinfo…
Unthinking Digital Sovereignty
“Digital sovereignty” is the political buzzword of the hour. Over the last decade, it has gone from being a vague idea invoked by a few policymakers and activists to a political slogan with global appeal. It was in 2016 that its growing popularity became especially clear. That year, Donald Trump was elected US president for the first time, with a protectionist agenda that included banning selected Chinese tech companies from the US market (Thumfa…
Centrality and power. The struggle over the techno‐political configuration of the Internet and the global digital order
In recent years, various governments have been trying to subordinate the Internet to the system of the Westphalian state order. This article seeks to add a new layer to the analysis of this conflict over state sovereignty and the global digital order. It draws on network theory as an alternative analytical lens to study the reconfiguration of power relations that define the Internet as a technical, social and economic network, and its governance.…
Das Netz und die Netze. Vom Wandel des Internets und der globalen digitalen Ordnung
Bis heute birgt das Internet das Versprechen, alle Menschen in einem globalen Kommunikationsnetz horizontal zu vereinen. Doch seit einigen Jahren gibt es Bemühungen autoritärer wie demokratischer Staaten, sowohl digitale Anwendungen als auch die physischen und technischen Infrastrukturen des Internets ihrem souveränen Zugriff zu unterwerfen. Und auch die „Big Tech“-Unternehmen versuchen zunehmend, „ihren“ digitalen Raum exklusiv zu kontrollieren.…
Digital sovereignty
Over the last decade, digital sovereignty has become a central element in policy discourses on digital issues. Although it has become popular in both centralised/authoritarian and democratic countries alike, the concept remains highly contested. After investigating the challenges to sovereignty apparently posed by the digital transformation, this essay retraces how sovereignty has re-emerged as a key category with regard to the digital. By system…
The Turn to Trade Agreements in Global Platform Governance
In the past few years, a growing number of proposals have been developed to govern major platforms for user-generated content through formalized legislation as well as voluntary self-regulatory initiatives. This paper focusses on the increasingly significant use of trade agreements for the governance of these platforms. While trade agreements have been analysed by academics working on internet governance, copyright, and other issues, they still h…
