[Commlist] Special Issue on Data-driven models of governance across borders publihed

The *Special Issue* on ‘Data-driven models of governance across borders: 
Datafication from the local to the global’ edited by Payal Arora and 
Hallam Stevens is now out in */First Monday/*. 
https://firstmonday.org/ojs/index.php/fm/article/view/9831

This special issue looks closely at contemporary data systems in diverse 
global contexts and through this set of papers, highlights the struggles 
we face as we negotiate efficiency and innovation with universal human 
rights and social inclusion. The studies presented in these essays are 
situated in diverse models of policy-making, governance, and/or activism 
across borders. Attention to big data governance in western contexts has 
tended to highlight how data increases state and corporate surveillance 
of citizens, affecting rights to privacy. By moving beyond Euro-American 
borders — to places such as Africa, India, China, and Singapore — we 
show here how data regimes are motivated and understood on very 
different terms.
