Programme in detail
Info
The EU explicitly strives to be the leading regulatory force of the 21st century on a global scale. Its potential role as a ‘global’ regulator raises fundamental questions as to the legality and legitimacy of such an agenda. Moreover, it requires a thorough analysis of the current proposals included in the DSA Package. This workshop will bring together scholars from law and social science in order to get a better understanding of the DSA Package, in detail and on a meta level. We will look at these regulatory activities from many perspectives and angles, including: fundamental rights, platform governance, accountability and transparency, digital constitutionalism, and digital sovereignty.
