Editorial – Big data through the power lens: Marker for regulating innovation

Lena Ulbricht and Maximilian von Grafenstein

Internet Policy Review: Journal on Internet Regulation, 2016, vol. 5, issue 1, 1-8

Abstract: Facing general conceptions of the power effects of big data, this thematic edition is interested in studies that scrutinise big data and power in concrete fields of application. It brings together scholars from different disciplines who analyse the fields agriculture, education, border control and consumer policy. As will be made explicit in the following, each of the articles tells us something about firstly, what big data is and how it relates to power. They secondly also shed light on how we should shape “the big data society” and what research questions need to be answered to be able to do so.
