Since the kick off of the re:constitution Working Paper Series three years ago, the format has provided a space for analysis and discussion on current questions of European democracy and rule of law research. The range of perspectives and approaches in the contributions is constantly expanding and we are particularly pleased about the publication of today's 25th issue:
re:constitution alumna Susana Coroado’s (2021/22) paper "Leviathan vs Goliath or States vs Big Tech and what the digital services act can do about it" deals with the dynamics between global Big Tech companies and plans for regulation by the European Union. The results of the analysis are based on research carried out within the framework of her re:constitution Fellowship - including a research stay at Democracy Reporting International - and focus on debates about democracy and self-regulation in the context of Big Tech.
