Doctoral Project

How do ideas of 'connectivity' shape Chinese policy on digital technologies? What are the issues that arise, when connectivity has to be negotiated in transnational fora? And how are these issues resolved against the backdrop of rising geopolitical tensions? Nicolas Huppenbauer's dissertation "Negotiating Connectivity: The Coproduction of Chinese Technopolitics and Transnational Digital Infrastructure" investigates these questions through in-depth case studies on smart city and automated driving in China and abroad.
