“…This reconfiguration of the security–market relationship creates new forms of security politics and governance objects that questions not only the distribution of European authority, responsibility and legitimacy for security but also liberal peace‐based approaches to security that see increased market interactions as a means to reduce hawkish hand mercantilist tendencies of states. To unfold this reconfiguration further – including the fundamental questions raised about the distribution of security political authority, responsibility and legitimacy, the promises and perils of the Janus‐faced digitisation and the politics of security – it is key to read EU cybersecurity governance alongside historical and present technopolitical developments such as digital sovereignty, the governance of emerging digital technology and the regulation of Big Tech (Bellanova et al, 2022; Broeders et al, 2023; Krarup and Horst, 2023).…”

This article furthers the debate between European Studies and Critical Security Studies by demonstrating how European Union (EU) single market integration functions as a security practice in the area of cybersecurity. It explores how the EU has rendered digitisation as a security concern and cybersecurity emerged as an object of EU governance by developing an analytical approach based on problematisation. Situating the problematisation approach in the genealogical tradition of Foucault, it argues that it provides us with an analytical toolbox enabling inquiry into the conditions that make contemporary security problems possible, powerful and changeable. Tracing EU security problematisations of digitisation over four decades, it shows how the single market has come to function as a security practice and stresses the political implications of it. The final part of the article re‐problematises the findings to afford insights into how they can be rethought at the intersection of European Studies and Critical Security Studies.

“…Influenced by the principle of removing barriers to competition and the free flow of data on one hand, and ensuring ethical and responsible AI on the other hand, are considered compatible and even complementary. Krarup and Horst emphasize that the integration of the single market is crucial for shaping new AI regulations in the European Union, and their research illustrates how quantitative analysis can reveal the fundamental principles underlying AI policy (Krarup & Horst, 2023).…”

This article addresses one of the pressing issues regarding the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in international relations and international law. The research question revolves around defining the theoretical and methodological approaches applicable to the strategic analysis of AI utilization in these fields. In the contemporary world, there is a demand at both interstate and societal levels to define the role of AI in the political and legal spheres. This is because AI development affects crucial areas of state relations such as security, international law, ethical norms, and dependencies. The prospective use of AI technologies without corresponding legal regulation may disrupt the already fragile balance of the world order, which could be exacerbated by state competition in AI technologies and AI applications in the military domain, a grey area in international law. Analyzing this issue from the perspective of international relations and international law theory allows for examining AI's impact on state interactions and developing new application strategies. Similarly, it helps understand how international law regulates state relations, including aspects related to AI applications. By examining various theoretical concepts and methodological approaches necessary for understanding AI's impact on global affairs, including its influence on diplomacy, security, and governance structures, as well as legal and ethical issues, this article contributes to Kazakhstan's evolving discourse on AI governance and its implications for state actors.

“…While there is research focusing on EU's digital innovation policies and the sociotechnical imaginaries surrounding them (Barais and Katzenbach, 2022; Krarup and Horst, 2023; Mager, 2017; Mager and Katzenbach, 2021; Ulnicane, 2021), relatively less is known about technology projects and infrastructures developed in Europe. Such a paucity should be addressed, given the burgeoning interest over the past few years in building European digital technologies and platforms to address the dominant American and Chinese “platform ecosystems” and their infrastructural power (Rieder, 2022; Van Dijck 2021a; 2021b).…”

Advancing search engine studies: The evolution of Google critique and intervention

In this piece, which frames the special issue, “The State of Google Critique and Intervention,” we provide an overview of research focusing on Google as an object of critical study, fleshing out the European interventions that actively attempt to address its dominance. The article begins by mapping out key areas of articulating a Google critique, from the initial focus on ranking and profiling to the subsequent scrutiny of user exploitation and competitive imbalance. As such, it situates the contributions to this special issue concerning search engine bias and discrimination, the ethics of Google Autocomplete, Google's content moderation, the commodification of engine audiences and the political economy of technical systems in a broader history of Google criticism. It then proceeds to contextualize the European developments that put forward alternatives and draws attention to legislative efforts to curb the influence of big tech. We conclude by identifying a few avenues for continued critical study, such as Google's infrastructural bundling of generative artificial intelligence with existing products, to emphasize the importance of intervention in the future.
