Julia Pohle (Co-head of the Politics of Digitalisation research group at the Social Science Center Berlin/ WZB) speaks with Markus Beckedahl in episode 2 of the re:publicast special about what digital sovereignty means, whether the term fits, and the role of digital civil society in shaping sovereign digital infrastructures. She draws on her research into the interplay of technology, politics, social norms and power relations to outline dimensions of digital sovereignty, political strategies and lessons from past shortcomings.
