Digital sovereignty, economic ideas, and the struggle over the digital markets act: a political-cultural approach
本文从政治文化角度分析欧盟《数字市场法案》的制定过程,揭示市场修正者、市场破坏者和市场引导者三派政治力量如何围绕数字主权和经济理念展开斗争,推动数字市场治理的政策转变。
Digital market regulations respond to technological changes and global dynamics, but also to how political actors shape markets. Focusing on the Digital Markets Act, this article explains the EU’s marketcraft as the result of a struggle in the policy field between political actors promoting competing economic ideas in a rapidly evolving technological and geopolitical context. We show that significant discursive and policy change in digital market governance has occurred because of shifting coalitions between three constellations of actors, which we call market-correctors, market-busters, and market-directors. Tracking the ongoing campaign to challenge Big Tech and define the meaning of digital sovereignty, we argue that market-directors have ushered in potentially comprehensive policy change.
