Vili Lehdonvirta. cloud empires: How digital platforms are overtaking the state and how we can regain control - Administrative Science Quarterly - 69(2), Jun, 2024: p.NP22- NP24
Lehdonvirta’s book begins with a captivating juxtaposition: the growing parallels between major internet-based platforms and traditional states or governments. From a governance perspective, these platforms and the state are increasingly converging in their functions, especially in how both facilitate various economic exchanges and labor market operations. Lehdonvirta aptly dubs these platforms “states without estates; empires in the cloud” (p. 213), highlighting the intriguing nature of this comparison.- Reproduced
