Abstract

The purpose of this section is to bridge research, theory and policies, thus making academic publications more relevant and useful for stakeholders and policymakers. We pursue multidisciplinary exploration of issues and propose an approach that crosses boundaries among research fields such as political science (and its subfields public policies and political communication), law, or economy (e.g. in the case of financing of electoral campaigns or taxing technological companies). We present a mosaic of positions, opinions and views that summarise the gist of current national and international discussions. Last but not least – our publication reflects policy and research agendas of the day, thus keeping a record of history. The focus of our section in this issue is on a seminal instrument proposed recently by the European Commission that will have a long lasting impact on the media regulation within and beyond Europe – the Digital Services Act (DSA) and Digital Markets Act (DMA) package. We present some keywords that summarise the basic ideas in the texts below to guide our readers in their journey through the complicated European digital services and platforms regulatory landscape.
