Big Data: Big Power Shifts?
A Special issue of the Internet Policy Review
http://policyreview.info/articles/analysis/big-data-big-power-shifts

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.
