Abstract
This special issue of Internet Policy Review is the second to bring 
together the best policy-oriented papers presented at the annual 
conference of the Association of Internet Researchers (AoIR). The 
conference in Montréal, in October 2018, was organised around the theme 
of "Transnational materialities". As explained in the editorial to this 
issue, the contributions map the larger debate on internet governance 
research in terms of perspectives rather than disciplines. The eleven 
papers in this issue span a wide range of topics, including normative 
perspectives on how platforms shape democracy, conceptual perspectives 
on how to think platform power, and social and legal views on 
data-driven governance.
