IE Masterclass – Politics in the Digital Age: A Change of the Political Paradigm?

We would love for you to join for our on-line Master Class Politics in the Digital Age:  A Change of the Political Paradigm?' by IE Professor Milo Jones.

The various scandals engulfing social media companies like Facebook and Twitter are only the tip of the digital iceberg towards which governments, societies and geopolitics generally are headed.

Digital technology is permeating every part of how we are governed - and affecting whom we choose to do the governing.  At the same time, perhaps less visibly, it is effecting authoritarian societies.

In this session, we'll explore how digital technology has become what philosophers call a "formal cause", i.e. something that does not merely have effects, but that is actually structuring and shaping political and social choices. In so doing, we will spot clues of how we can expect the future of digital societies to evolve.
