[The EU as a Global Digital Actor] is successful in defining and demonstrating a full picture of the EU as an institutionalist global protagonist in critical digital domains …The author’s deep knowledge of EU digital regulation is an asset for the reader, who can find in the book not only a detailed and critical analysis of major EU regulatory trends and policies, but also the bigger picture comprising the regulatory design and its externalities and variants, in the global field. The book is a concise and thoughtful analysis of the EU’s action and policy in global digital regulation.
