Annelise Riles

Digital platforms have many of the qualities of transnational self-regulatory communities, akin to offshore banking systems or transnational social movements, transnational authorities that draw upon but also transcend the power of nation-states. Annelise Riles is writing a book that rethinks transnational law in light of the rise of digital platforms as new sources of global authority and considers how digital platform sociality can be reimagined for more just global futures.
