'Citizen Knowledge' discusses how various forms of knowledge are dealt with in societies that combine a democratic political system with a capitalist economic system. How do citizens learn about politics? How are scientific insights taken up in politics? What role can markets play for processing decentralized knowledge? Lisa Herzog argues that the fraught relation between democracy and capitalism gets out of balance if too much knowledge is treated according to the logic of markets. Complex societies need different mechanisms for dealing with knowledge, among which democratic deliberation and expert communities are central. 'Citizen Knowledge' develops the vision of an egalitarian society that considers the use of knowledge in society a matter of shared democratic responsibility.

The Digital Single Market (DSM) 2014-19 was the largest component of the European Union's Single Market programme, comprising numerous Directives, Regulations, and instruments aimed at facilitating cross-border digital services. With one-fifth of service exports stemming from the digital sector, the DSM was vital for the UK, with the EU representing its largest export market.Brexit and the Digital Single Market examines the important historical role of the UK in DSM development, the consequences of Brexit for the UK's digital sector, and future EU and UK policy trajectories. Assessing both vertical sectors and horizontal policies, this book demonstrates how the UK acted as a policy entrepreneur in pushing for a deregulatory framework by exploiting temporal events historically.The current challenges presented by Brexit are discussed in detail, closely observing topics such as the loss of the country of origin principle and freedom of movement, changes to copyright and VAT regimes, complications with cross-border data transfer, administrative procedures, and international taxes on digital products and services. Brexit and the Digital Single Market illuminates how the UK continues to innovate in the digital sector but is constrained by external factors both at EU and global levels. It also considers how EU policy is taking a new direction in its 2020 Digital Strategy programme, which leans towards greater protection of European champions and digital sovereignty, a tightening of its data protection regime, and greater regulatory intervention in digital markets.Timely and unprecedented, Brexit and the Digital Single Market is the first volume to comprehensively cover the implications of Brexit for the EU's DSM. This is an essential read for students and academics in political science and law and those from the civil service and government working within the digital sector.

« Le classement de Shanghai mesure mal la qualité de l'enseignement supérieur…  » « Ce n'est pas aux étudiants d'évaluer les enseignants…  », « Les universitaires n'aiment pas qu'on les évalue… », etc. Seraient-ils corporatistes, recroquevillés sur leurs supposés privilèges ? Et pourquoi les dirigeants et les gestionnaires de l'Université tiennent-ils tellement à donner des notes et à classer (les chercheurs, les enseignants, les laboratoires, les universités...) ? Une vielle habitude d'enseignants ? Hugo Harari-Kermadec montre que l'enjeu principal de cette mise en nombre est de préparer la marchandisation de l'Université. Pour produire du Capital humain et s'insérer dans l'économie de la connaissance, l'Université devrait se transformer en profondeur, et le travail des universitaires devrait changer, coûte que coûte, de forme. Si les classements et les autres dispositifs de mise en nombre sont aussi importants, c'est parce qu'ils jouent un rôle essentiel pour faire du service public d'enseignement supérieur un nouveau secteur marchand producteur de valeur économique et de profits. En saisissant un secteur en cours de marchandisation, Hugo Harari-Kermadec révèle un processus qui s'étend bien au-delà de l'Université, de l'hôpital aux tâches domestiques, des compteurs linky aux bigdata. Il donne une nouvelle légitimité aux résistances face à la mise en nombre et invite à retourner l'arme de la quantification comme instrument d'émancipation.
