Dr Paško Bilić (IRMO) and Dr Toni Prug (University of Rijeka) held a lecture on the political economy of digital monopolies, relying on a monograph from 2021 co-authored with Dr Mislav Žitko (FFZG) under the title Political Economy of Digital Monopolies (Bristol University Press), as well as a series of publications published after the monograph in various peer-reviewed and leading international journals. The lecture was part of the Technology, Inequality and Development Research Seminar at the Department of International Development, King’s College London. During and after the lecture, the structural power of digital monopolies, the mechanisms and mediating forms through which they establish their dominance and the implications of these dynamics for public governance were discussed.
