Liberal Democratic Values. Anu Bradford: Digital Empires.
Anu Bradford’s latest insightful, thought-provoking, and nuanced critical analysis of the leading digital world-wide powers. Going beyond the often-referred battle between China and the US, Bradford includes the EU as a digital empire. Similar to her previous book, ‘The Brussels Effect’, the author argues for the EU’s global influence in regulating markets through significant empirical evidence – a distinguishing trait of this book, making it not only informative but also an absorbing read. Bradford uses the term ‘digital empires’ as a metaphor to encompass the current “leading technology, economic, and regulatory powers, each with the ambition and capability to shape the global digital order toward their interests and values.”
