The European regulatory space is complex and involves many different actors that perform different and often complementary regulatory tasks. Looking specifically at digital policy in Europe, Jonas explores how multi-actor governance arrangements contribute to setting, monitoring, or enforcing public rules. He is particularly interested in the EU’s attempts to regain control over digital platform and AI governance through various recent legislative interventions.
