The authors are eminent scholars and international experts with a profound knowledge of these topics. Particular attention is paid to the areas of digital democracy, digital media and regulation of the digital world.
The approach employed is based on a comparative perspective from Germany, the Netherlands, Italy, Portugal and Brazil.
