The European Court of Justice and the Policy Process
This book analyses the European Court of Justice's power from a political-science perspective. It argues that this power can be assessed through studying the policy implications of there being a supranational constitution that was drafted as an international treaty. An international treaty contains a set of policy goals for future cooperation. Direct effect and supremacy give constitutional status to these policy goals, allowing the Court to develop the Treaty's implications for policymaking at the European and the member-state levels. By focusing on the four freedoms (of goods, services, persons, and capital) and citizenship rights, the book analyses the implications of case law for policymaking in different case studies. It shows how major EU legislation (for instance, the Services and Citizenship Directives) are significantly influenced by case law and how controversial policies, such as EU citizens' access to tax-financed social benefits, are closely linked to the Court.
Living with Digital Surveillance in China
Digital surveillance is a daily and all-encompassing reality of life in China. This book explores how Chinese citizens make sense of digital surveillance and live with it. It investigates their imaginaries about surveillance and privacy from within the Chinese socio-political system. Based on in-depth qualitative research interviews, detailed diary notes, and extensive documentation, Ariane Ollier-Malaterre attempts to ‘de-Westernise’ the internet and surveillance literature. She shows how the research participants weave a cohesive system of anguishing narratives on China’s moral shortcomings and redeeming narratives on the government and technology as civilising forces. Although many ...
High Wire
High Wire provides a novel and comprehensive analysis of how China regulates its tech sector and more broadly governs its economy. It focuses on electronic platform regulation in three key areas: antitrust, data, and labor. It also explains how Chinese platforms regulate themselves outside of state control, and how the two modes--public and self-regulation--interact. Finally, High Wire shows how the current tech crackdown in China is shaping the country's transition from soft-tech to hard-tech and considers how China will regulate the rapidly expanding field of generative artificial intelligence.
