On my way to Berlin where I'll spend most of September as a guest researcher at the
@WZB_Berlin 's Politics of Digitalization research group!

Just drop me an email or message if you're in town and want to have lunch/coffee/drinks!

There will also be a one-off book club (in mid-September) to discuss Acemoglu & Johnson's new book: Power and Progress. (https://amazon.com/Power-Progress-Thousand-Year-Technology-Prosperity/dp/1541702530).

This will be open to everyone, let me know if you want to join.

🚀 Thrilled to see my new article on EU #copyright politics published in the Journal of European Public Policy!

Social media self-regulation is increasignly contested. I show how the techlash affects lobbying competition and the coalition politics of online content regulation in the EU  .

This semester, I tried something new: instead of teaching an introduction to R or and introduction to comparative political economy, I combined the two in one course.

You can check out the syllabus as well as the slides here: https://timoseidl.com/teaching/r-and-cpe.html

Quick update before I take some time off:

There was a subsection missing in the original version of the published paper. This has now been updated.

You can use the same link to get the new and correct version: https://ojs.weizenbaum-institut.de/index.php/wjds/article/view/3_1_2

Sorry about that, and enjoy your summer!

I discovered that publishing a theoretical paper can be a difficult exercise. This is why I would be all the more happy if reading this helps you (and your students) better understand the current moment. If so, but also if not, feel free to send me an email. I'd be very curious!

The paper is a summary of my current thinking on digitalization and something like a literature review with theoretical intent. It might be particularly useful if you want to get a short but theory-rich overview of current debates, be it as a researcher, teacher or practitioner.

Short version: When talking about digitalization, we cannot be silent about capitalism. But when talking about capitalism, we can also not be silent about digitalization. I suggest some concepts for how to think about the enablers, dynamics, and challenges of digital capitalism.
