Control, Shift, Govern: Technologies of State Power in the Digital Age

Control, shift, govern offers a critical examination of how digital technologies are reshaping the practices and processes of state-making. As digital tools proliferate across governance landscapes, this volume explores the complex and at times contradictory ways in which political authority is produced, reconfigured and contested in the information age. Bringing together timely theoretical insights and empirical case studies, the volume illuminates the evolving entanglements between digital infrastructures and the exercise of state power.
