Daniela Stockmann is Director of the Centre for Digital Governance and Professor of Digital Governance at the Hertie School. Her current research focuses on the interaction between government, platform firms, and citizens in the area of social media governance. She studies these interactions both in China and in Europe. Her forthcoming book “Governing Digital China” (with Ting Luo, in press with Cambridge University Press) challenges top-down notions of digital governance and explores the logic of citizen-influenced corporatism, highlighting bottom-up influences of China’s largest platform firms.
