      abstract = {This volume has a solid foundation in the highly topical  question of technological change. More importantly, the  individual chapters are written by qualified scholars whose  analytically advanced contributions are likely to interest  a wide audience. I can strongly recommend this book for  scholars and students in political science, law, and  economics. Carl Fredrik Bergstrom, Professor of European  Law, Uppsala University, Sweden As the digital  transformation affects every single one of us it is  important that we have the widest possible debate on its  inherent risks and opportunities, and how these are shared  across society. This is why I warmly recommend this volume:  because it brings together an inter-disciplinary set of  scholars able to analyse the multifaceted implications of  the technological shift. I could not agree more with the  books main takeaway, i.e. that we need to create an  adaptive regulatory framework capable of harnessing the  positive effects of technological changes while buttressing  the negative impact on European society and citizens.  Ambassador Kim Jrgensen, Head of Cabinet to Commissioner  and Executive Vice-President Margrethe Vestager, European  Commission This book explores the multiple challenges that  the global technology shift is posing to the EU. From the  vantage point of experts from economics, law, and political  science, this book provides insights into the role that the  EU is and ought to be playing in regulating global platform  companies, addressing taxation in the digital economy,  mitigating job displacements on the labour market, and  tackling ethical concerns of artificial intelligence and  the prospect of digital democracy. All chapters are based  on up-to-date research findings and succinct assessment of  ongoing debates. They conclude with policy recommendations  for policy makers on European and national levels.
