The PLATFORM WARS project looks at how platform corporations affect the way force is used and the wider rules that govern this. To answer this question, we must understand how platform crporations influence practices and regulations in warfare.
The 'launch' event gathered experts on this topic. We have organised a series of panels with two speakers each, which focused on key concepts for the PLATFORM WARS research project, including platforms, warfare, markets, data, infrastructure and violence.
Invited speakers included:
Claudia Aradau (King’s College London), Rocco Bellanova (Vrije Universiteit Brussel), Antoine Bousquet (Swedish Defence University), Martin Coward (Queen Mary University of London), Raluca Csernatoni (Vrije Universiteit Brussel), Roberto Gonzalez (San Jose State University), Lauren Gould (Utrecht University), Vanessa Ugolini (Vrije Universiteit Brussel), Francesco Ragazzi (University Leiden), Elke Schwarz (Queen Mary University of London).
