Big Data: Big Power Shifts?
A Special issue of the Internet Policy Review

R E C E N T   P U B L I C A T I O N

To what extent does big data shape society by influencing power relations? And how is, in return, the development of big data-related phenomena itself shaped by power relations?

In its latest special issue, Big data: big power shifts?
(http://policyreview.info/articles/analysis/big-data-big-power-shifts), the Internet Policy Review tackles these questions by looking at studies that scrutinise big data and power in concrete fields of application.

This special issue brings together scholars from different disciplines who analyse the fields agriculture, education, border control and consumer policy and thus explore a variety of phenomena which fall under the big data label. Each of the articles is a contribution to a better understanding of what big data is and how it relates to power. They 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.
