THE DISPUTE SETTLEMENT FOR CONSUMER PROTECTION BY THE CONSUMER DISPUTE SETTLEMENT AGENCY IN LEGAL ASSURANCE PERSPECTIVE

The concept of consumer protection is to guarantee legal certainty to consumers, namely efforts to empower consumers to obtain or determine their choice of goods and/or services and to defend or defend their rights if business actors harm them. Legal norms to protect the interests of consumers are not sufficient. Therefore, to achieve a balance in protecting the interests of consumers and business actors, a clear legal order is needed so that a healthy economy can be realized. Consumer protection norms in the Consumer Protection Law System, as a fundamental norm, become the criteria for determining alleged violations of consumer rights. The aim of this study is to provide an alternative for resolving cases, a form of embodiment of the implementation of consumer rights protection policies. The approach method used in this research is juridical sociological. However, there are still legal loopholes that often occur. May harm the interests of consumers. The existence of regulations that still have to be synchronized and harmonized between the Consumer Protection Act and the rules governing Arbitration and Alternative Dispute Resolution issues because the Consumer Protection Law formulates rules for resolving consumer disputes by separate arbitration, which is relatively different from the basic concept of the arbitration mechanism which generally accepted so that the settlement of consumer disputes becomes legal uncertainty.

Protection and Obedience. Deviant Masonry, Corruption, and Mafia in Italy

ABSTRACT The historical connection between Italian masonry and opaque interests of white-collar and institutional actors populates common representations of power in Italy. The P2 case contributed to shape an Italian collective representation of the role of the masonry as a locus where almost everything can be informally or illegally obtained by affiliates through the right connections, bribery, and blackmailing. Using a variety of resources, including case law, public inquiries, interviews, and media analysis, this paper will investigate the pathological dimension of potential interplays among deviant masons and political-institutional actors in a variety of cases from the P2 onwards. Marginally mafia organizations have also emerged in this interplay. We outline the actors, their resources, activities, and opportunities. We conclude by discussing how and why the willingness and the need of several powerful actors (including mafiosi) to find a “protected space” of extra-legal exchange, led them to create, seek, or enter masonic or para-masonic structures, able to provide governance of reciprocal needs and expectations.

Determinants of Dengue Fever Incidence in Dense Residential Areas: A Systematic Literature Review

The problem of dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) has become a major concern for the government in addition to other diseases both infectious and non-communicable. DHF every year always brings victims and is difficult to avoid. This study aims to determine the determinants of dengue incidence. This research uses the literature review method from various reference sources such as scientific journals, manuals from ministries/institutions, proceedings, books, and others. The results of this research reported that there are four determinants that affect the incidence of dengue fever in Indonesia, namely social, economic, environmental, and institutional factors. In the social factor, there are 4 sub-factors, while in the economic factor there are four, in the environment, there are seven and 11 of the institutional sub-factors. This research recommends that in overcoming dengue fever, it is necessary to do it thoroughly, involve all interested actors and be carried out programmatically and sustainably.

Summary of the ONE SOCIETY track > opportunities and challenges

This report summarises the main discussions, conclusions and recommendations of the ‘One Society’ track of the ‘ONE – Health, Environment & Society – Conference 2022’ (21st–24th June 2002; Brussels and online), which was organised by the European Food Safety Authority. The four themes in the One Society track focused on risk communication, social science, engagement, including collaboration, the EU research agenda, and open science: more specifically, their integration into our understanding of existing and emerging food safety risks within agri-food systems, and as part of the ‘One Health’ context. The conclusions suggested that understanding food safety risks within ‘One Health’ requires collaboration and co-production of risk assessment and research objectives, data, methodologies and translation into policy with all interested actors, including the general public. Furthermore, effective implementation of open science practices and inter-agency collaboration are key to ensuring that policy and governance conditions can be optimised within the context of the transdisciplinary research environment in which the ‘One Health’ concept is embedded. Among main outcomes, the ‘One Society’ track clearly highlighted the need to: i) realise the EU’s collaborative food safety knowledge ecosystem, as no single actor can master the level of complexity alone, ii) consistently apply an ‘audience-first’ approach and use participatory formats from science to policymaking; iii) dedicate resources to build bridges with research projects; and iv) make open science a reality and a ‘default’ principle for regulatory science.

Exploring “big picture” scenarios for resilience in social–ecological systems: transdisciplinary cross-impact balances modeling in the Red River Basin

Climate change is increasing the frequency and the severity of extreme events in river basins around the world. Efforts to build resilience to these impacts are complicated by the social–ecological interactions, cross-scale feedbacks, and diverse actor interests that influence the dynamics of change in social–ecological systems (SESs). In this study, we aimed to explore big-picture scenarios of a river basin under climate change by characterizing future change as emergent from interactions between diverse efforts to build resilience and a complex, cross-scale SES. To do so, we facilitated a transdisciplinary scenario modeling process structured by the cross-impact balances (CIB) method, a semi-quantitative method that applies systems theory to generate internally consistent narrative scenarios from a network of interacting drivers of change. Thus, we also aimed to explore the potential for the CIB method to surface diverse perspectives and drivers of change in SESs. We situated this process in the Red River Basin, a transboundary basin shared by the United States and Canada where significant natural climatic variability is worsened by climate change. The process generated 15 interacting drivers ranging from agricultural markets to ecological integrity, generating eight consistent scenarios that are robust to model uncertainty. The scenario analysis and the debrief workshop reveal important insights, including the transformative changes required to achieve desirable outcomes and the cornerstone role of Indigenous water rights. In sum, our analysis surfaced significant complexities surrounding efforts to build resilience and affirmed the potential for the CIB method to generate unique insights about the trajectory of SESs.

Business, power, and private regulatory governance: Shaping subjectivities and limiting possibilities in the gold supply chain

AbstractTo examine how private regulatory governance reproduces a market logic that always already circumscribes possibilities for radical change, we tarry with Michel Foucault's notion of governmentality and his writings on power. We focus on two major initiatives created to regulate gold supply chains, subjecting their publicly released documents to a discourse analysis. This reveals subtle but tangible examples of how these initiatives discursively shape business preferences and possibilities for engaging with a social change agenda. Through a focus on how power circulating through these initiatives works to shape the identities and interests of business actors themselves, we contribute a new perspective to the literature on business, power, and private regulatory governance, one that highlights the ways through which these discourses both expand and limit business actors' engagement in setting social agendas and the mixed and sometimes seemingly contradictory implications for the public interest.

PHARMACEUTICAL MARKETING AS A MARKETING SYSTEM AT THE MACRO LEVEL: STRUCTURE AND FEATURES

The article addresses theoretical and methodological foundations of the marketing systems of the pharmaceutical market at the macro level. The size and social significance of this market determine the need to ensure its proper functioning as a whole system, but the systemic approach to marketing in general and to that of a specific industry remains underdeveloped. Marketing policy still mainly relies on the classical marketing mix, developing in the framework of marketing management approach that is in the micro-framework. Thus, issues related to societal interests in the functioning of markets, such as ensuring sustainability, development of human capital, and quality of life, remain without a proper apparatus of studying and action, on the margin of interests of market actors. This determines the relevance of the study. Based on the systematisation and generalisation of specific features of the pharmaceutical market and using the apparatus and approaches of macro marketing, the general structure of the marketing system is shaped grounded in a specific difference in mechanisms of creation and delivery of consumer value, attributed to the mechanism of drug prescription. Therefore, two interconnected subsystems of the pharmaceutical market marketing system are suggested: prescription and over-the-counter (OTC) drugs. Managing the first subsystem requires the use of approaches and tools inherent in B2B marketing. The creation and realisation of consumer value here is based on the objective needs of end consumers and is strongly influenced by the expert and professional environment. Taking into account the importance of the pharmaceutical market for ensuring social well-being, the need to create new pharmaceutical products may not always be justified by the significance of the market size, anticipating the need for non-market financing, support from market externalities The subsystem relies both the mechanisms of competition and that of cooperation; uses innovative management and marketing, to a certain extent this subsystem depends on the ability to ensure network of interaction between market participants. Such features of the first subsystem obviously have an impact on the second, where the need to ensure social well-being determines the general direction and sets guidelines and restrictions for marketing programmes of individual market participants. The effective functioning of the whole system is based on a combination of mechanisms of cooperation, vital considering a strong need for externalities, and competitive marketing based on specific characteristics of the pharmaceutical industry and market. Key aspects of macromarketing of the pharmaceutical market have been identified to ensure the management of the marketing system of the market system at the macro level.

Analyzing the association of policy narratives with problem tractability in the implementation of EU decisions: Evidence from the phytosanitary policy area

AbstractThe Narrative Policy Framework (NPF) suggests that narratives can be employed to define and contest policy problems. Yet, few NPF studies have explicitly addressed the narrative portrayal of problem intractability. What role do narratives play in a situation of uncertainty about the causes and solutions of the problem, when strong divergences regarding the values and interests of the policy actors exist? The article anchors the NPF to the literatures on problem definition and implementation to advance two propositions about (a) how differences in the use of narrative elements can be suggestive of the degree of problem (in‐)tractability; and (b) whether other elements of tractability, namely the presence of a valid causal theory, are associated with the usage of narrative strategies. I test the propositions by analyzing media commentaries surrounding the implementation of European decisions to tackle a tree‐killing epidemic in Italy. The findings suggest that narratives can helpfully illustrate the intractability inherent in the policy debate. However, narratives can also develop independently of factors that the implementation literature understands as conducive to lowering intractability, namely knowledge accumulation. The NPF may represent a promising alternative to understand policy implementation processes.

Barriers and Facilitators Related to the Adoption of Policies to Reduce Ultra-Processed Foods Consumption: A Scoping Review

to conduct a scoping review to answer the question "What factors have influenced the adoption of food taxes, front-of-pack labeling and restrictions on marketing to children?". A scoping review was developed from four databases. Studies that described and analyzed policy processes were included. Analysis was performed to identify the barriers and enablers mentioned under the guidance of Swinburn et al., Huang et al., Mialon et al., and Kingdon. 168 documents were identified, describing experiences from five regions or groups and 23 countries, which have generated 1584 examples of 52 enablers (689 examples; 43.5%) and 55 barriers (895 examples; 56.5%) that may have influenced policies. The main enablers were related to the government environment and governance and to civil society strategies. Corporate political activity strategies were the main examples of barriers. This scoping review consolidated barriers and facilitators related to policies aimed at reducing ultra-processed foods consumption, demonstrating that factors related to the actions of governments and civil society are the main facilitators. On the other hand, as the most interested actor in promoting the consumption of these products, the strategies adopted by the companies that produce these products constitute the main barrier to these policies in all the studied countries and should be overcome.

Water resources optimal allocation model for coordinating regional multi-level water resources managers’ interests

In water resources management on a global scale, it is important to reconcile the conflicting interests of different regions and actors regarding water use. To solve this issue more effectively, an optimal allocation model of water resources that coordinates the interests of regional multi-level water resource managers and balances the benefits acquired by regional multi-level water resource managers was proposed. The model consisted of three components, including option generation, option selection, and fallback bargaining. The Hybrid Strategy Whale Optimization Algorithm (HSWOA) was created to generate the initial alternative set throughout the alternative generation process. In the alternative screening process, quick non-dominated sorting was used to choose Pareto alternatives from the initial alternative set. Through many rounds of negotiations, water resource managers at all levels reached a consensual water resource allocation plan during fallback bargaining. This model was used to reconcile the conflicting water interests of municipal and county water managers in Handan, China, in terms of economic, social, and ecological benefits. It was also compared with the Pareto solution set obtained from NSGA-III. In terms of convergence speed and accuracy, the results demonstrated that HSWOA outperformed the Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA). The results show that several rounds of discussions between municipal and county water management eventually resulted in Nash equilibrium. In normal flow year, the recommended scheme could yield economic benefit of 315.08×108 Yuan, social benefit of 0.1700, and ecological benefit of 5.70 × 106 m3, whereas in low flow year, the recommended scheme could yield economic benefit of 354.85×108 Yuan, social benefit of 0.2103, and ecological benefit of 57.82 × 106 m3. Compared to existing studies, the recommended scheme has clear advantages in terms of social and ecological benefits. The proposed optimal water resource allocation was Pareto optimal. This paper presented a new way of thinking about reconciling the conflicting interests of different levels of water resource managers in the process of water allocation.

The geopolitics of the European super league: A historiographical approach and a media analysis of the failed project in 2021.

The main objective of this article is to analyse the reasons why the 2021 European Super League project failed. The authors ask whether, in addition to the popular clamour against a semi-closed competition, it was the combination of geopolitical interests of the different actors currently involved in European elite football that prevented the project from going ahead. The main methodological framework is based on a case study, which follows an Stakian approach. To do so, on the one hand, a historiographical analysis of the case has been done; on the other hand, authors have complemented this case study with an analysis of 23 pieces of news published on the website of five mainstream newspapers (from April to June 2021) from those countries with the most significant European football leagues: The United Kingdom (The Guardian), Spain (El País), France (Le Monde), Italy (La Repubblica) and Germany (Der Spiegel). To supplement the analysis of this phenomenon, authors have also considered other relevant news published in other mainstream press or news agencies (such as The New York Times, Politico, The Yorkshire Post, The Times, Marca, Bloomberg and Reuters). The authors conclude that, while financially the Super League debate has not been closed, in defending the current business and competition model of European football, UEFA has had the complicity of owners and shareholders of the founding clubs outside of their traditional historical roots, as well as governments that have made football an asset because of their geopolitical positioning, such as Qatar and the UK post-Brexit.

Resources and Policy Beliefs of the Ponorogo District's Social Work Research on Negotiating Migrant Community Needs

Ponorogo Regency is included in the top 5 regencies/cities that send the largest number of migrant workers in Indonesia and ranks first in East Java Province with a total of 10,043 Indonesian migrant workers. The high number of Indonesian migrant workers in Ponorogo Regency encourages all actors to play a role in dealing with the impacts. It is listed in the Ponorogo Regency of Regional People’s Representative Assembly Decree Number 188.4/01/2020 concerning the program for the establishment of the Ponorogo Regency Regional Regulation in 2020. This paper intends to analyze the usefulness of applying community research techniques to illuminate the nuanced requirements of immigrant com communities. Given the political interests of actors in the subsystem representing various stakeholders: Regent of Ponorogo Regency, DPRD of Ponorogo Regency, Religious Court of Ponorogo Regency, Manpower Office of Ponorogo Regency, LTSA of Ponorogo Regency, P4TKI, PPPMI, NGOs and PMI. This study aims to analyze the actors involved and the resources consisting of formal legal authorities to make decisions, public opinion, information, mobs, financial resources, and skilled leadership. This study uses a case study qualitative research method with data collection through interviews, observations, literature reviews, and data from public test results. The success of the actors in managing the trust of non-formal actors becomes the capital to convince the formal sector to be optimistic about meeting the needs of migrants. In Ponorogo social work, local community research may offer a more inclusive, community-based methodological strategy to migrant challenges. The context of policy belief and actor resource, determining success related to the ability to innovate, leadership, power, and determining the right steps are some of the recommendations from this research.

Actors in multi-sector transitions - discourse analysis on hydrogen in Germany

With net-zero emission goals, low-carbon transitions enter a new phase of development, leading to new challenges for policymaking and research. Multiple transitions unfold in parallel across different sectors. This involves a broad range of technologies, while actors engage in increasingly complex discourses. Here, we study the discourses on hydrogen in Germany. Based on the analysis of 179 newspaper articles from 2016 to 2020, we find that a diverse set of actors, including many industry incumbents, speak favorably about hydrogen, emphasizing economic opportunities and its relevance for the energy transition, whereas skeptics highlight its low energy efficiency and expected scarcity. With the help of discourse network analysis, we identify three emerging conflicts around the use, production, and import of hydrogen. We explain these conflicts and the widespread support of incumbents with a conceptual framework that captures the complex interplay of sectoral contexts, specific technologies and actor interests.

Skills formation and (un)employment in Latin America: Evidence from Chile

SummaryMotivationSkills formation and training have been singled out as key policies to adapt to contemporary labour‐market challenges such as automation and skill‐biased technological change particularly in middle‐income countries such as those in Latin America. However, limited knowledge about the effects of training policies in Latin America hinders adaptation to these transformations.PurposeThis article contributes to the limited knowledge to date about the impact of skills formation in Latin America, with reference to Chile, a country usually considered a successful case of educational achievement and employment but sharing many of the development problems of its Latin American peers. By doing this, it provides empirical evidence to substantiate existing theories explaining these problems.Methods and approachUsing available longitudinal data from Chile (Encuesta de Protección Social, EPS), we analyse the causal effects of training on the transitions from unemployment to employment through a difference‐in‐difference (DiD) strategy.FindingsResults suggest that there is a small but significantly positive effect of training in reducing post‐training unemployment, as yearly unemployment among individuals attending training while unemployed is reduced, on average, by two weeks.Policy implicationsResults confirm the low and highly segmented incidence of training in the region, highlighting the need to discuss the design of training programmes to improve their effects, including the creation of differentiated programmes for unemployed and employed workers. For the former, it is important to strengthen labour intermediation to overcome problems of social capital; for the latter, it is key to achieve the stronger incorporation of employers in the discussion on training and industry standards. In both cases, it is crucial to create institutions promoting stronger co‐ordination between the interested actors.

Review of Media and the Affective Life of Slavery by Allison Paige (University of Minnesota Press)

In 'Media and the Affective Life of Slavery,' Allison Page interrogates how media culture from the 1960s to the present has mobilized the legacy of slavery for affective governance, or "the production and management of affect and emotion to align with governing rationalities" (6). Throughout the book, Page’s analysis succeeds in providing a rich mapping of the converging interests of state actors, media producers, educational organizations, and other stakeholders as they narrate their own desire to manage emotions in the wake of the civil rights movement and to maintain white supremacist order.

New paradigm in tax management in the footprints of industry 4.0: tax administration 3.0

Purpose- In the 2020’s the tax management is following the footprints of Industry 4.0, tax Office processes which were originally paper-based and partly manual have been digitalised globally, also allowing greater sharing of data within the administration and within government, the incorporation of third party data and the use of enhanced analytical tools. We proposed to start the assessment of the level of the maturity of Turkish tax office’s e- transformation project under the criteria of OECD and compare with similar countries with more advanced and established systems. Methodology- Based on the systematic of OECD Digital Transformation Project Tax Office 3.0 the study planned to cover the six building blocks (tax identity, touchpoints, data management, tax rule and applications, analytic capacity and asssesment and governance frameworks and related 13 indicative attributes and to propose an approach to apply to the Turkish tax Office. Findings- Change in management of tax offices is urgently needed and the sytem is increasingly difficult to manage since the current position is inherently unstable. Some of the 48 countries studied by the OECD Project that have a road map to digital transformations appear to have more mature (established) digitalised tax systems than Türkiye, but we observed that our system which has only started in 2010’s has progressed rapidly especially during the last five years. Turkish Ministry of Treasury and Finance, which has taken substantial steps in the tax system, is now aiming to develop the process that has started with the e-document by expanding the comprehenesiveness of the industries as well as establishing new vanguard projects as the “Turkey Digital Tax Office”. Conclusion- Our findings provide evidence that the tax office can perform better with taxpayer and accountant’s voluntary compliance to system. The study concluded that digital transformation requires integrated approaches and a new approach to co- develop the different systems of government with the tax Office. Turkish Tax Office has to improve the core capabilities necessary to facilitate future tax administration, and fit them together taking into account the mutual costs of change. It is recommended to the Turkish Ministry of Treasury and Finance in order to improve the maturity of the Turkish digital transformation, to develop new strategies to harmonise the needs and interests of government and private sector actors within an integrated digitalized system rather than expanding and diversifying the existing system. Keywords: Building blocks of digital transformation, tax offices, taxpayer compliance. JEL Codes: G28; G38, K34

Management of German national parks: The role of institutions and actors in defining goals and making decisions

The process of defining goals and decision-making in German national parks (NLPs) takes place in the context of a large set of rules and a diversity of actors with different interests. As a result, unique management approaches and practices are applied in each of the 16 NLPs in Germany. This study investigates, how NLP administrations make these decisions.A conservation policy analysis based on the analytical framework of actor-centred institutionalism should identify the most salient drivers of goal setting and decision-making at the meso-level. Using a mixed-methods research approach, the range of influencing factors can be gathered from several perspectives. This study analyses 50 documents, 22 interviews with NLP managers, and an online survey of 179 actors within and associated with national park administration. Both quantitative and qualitative approaches were applied to analyse the generated data.The results show that broadly applicable institutions such as laws and decrees define the main goal to “let nature be nature” but do not determine specific actions for the national parks. The most important institutions for NLP managers are those that apply only to a single NLP, such as NLP laws or management plans. In addition to the existing rules, various interests of different actors have an impact on the decision-making process. Key actors around NLP management are politicians, ministries and scientists. Most contradictory perspectives and positions on non-intervention management are formulated by land users from the agricultural and forestry sectors who fear negative effects of this management approach.In this context, negotiations are a common governance approach to implement participatory elements; different actors have varying levels of importance within these participation processes.The large variety of influencing factors illustrates that policy outcomes do not singularly depend on legislative intervention. Besides actors and institutions, individual orientations and different contexts at a local level, as well as historical circumstance also need to be considered. To maintain or expand public acceptance, it is recommended that NLP administrations act with a high level of transparency and focus on expanded sharing of information.

Fostering transdisciplinary research for equitable and sustainable development pathways across Africa: what changes are needed?

ABSTRACT The transformations required to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals across the African continent demand new ways of mobilising, weaving together, and applying knowledge. Research, policymaking, planning, and action must be effectively inter-linked to address complex sustainability challenges and the different needs and interests of societal actors. Transdisciplinarity (TD) – the co-production of knowledge across disciplines and with non-academic actors – offers a promising, holistic approach to foster such transformations. Yet, despite increased application of TD over the past two decades, disciplinary and sectoral silos persist. TD is not well embedded in African academic institutions and, consequently, much SDG-related research is too narrowly framed and divorced from the action space to be effective. There is an urgent need to work collectively across disciplines and society for transformation towards more sustainable and equitable development pathways. Capacities to undertake collaborative, impactful research must be strengthened, and changes in research culture are needed to support relationship building. We explore these issues by drawing on two recent online social learning processes with researchers and practitioners working on sustainability issues and TD. In each process, we built on actors’ own experiences of TD by investigating institutional, practical, and theoretical challenges and enablers of TD. Here, we synthesise our learnings, alongside key literature, and explore avenues to better: a) promote and support TD within academic institutions across Africa; b) resource TD for sustainable partnerships, and c) strengthen TD practices and impacts to support transformation to sustainability across diverse places and contexts.

Political Prioritisation for Performance-Based Financing at the County Level in Kenya: 2015 to 2018.

Performance based financing was introduced to Kilifi county in Kenya in 2015. This study investigates how and why political and bureaucratic actors at the local level in Kilifi county influenced the extent to which PBF was politically prioritised at the sub-national level. The study employed a single-case study design. The Shiffman and Smith political priority setting framework with adaptations proposed by Walt and Gilson was applied. Data was collected through document review (n=19) and in-depth interviews (n=8). Framework analysis was used to analyse data and generate findings. In the period 2015-2018, the political prioritisation of PBF at the county level in Kilifi was influenced by contextual features including the devolution of power to sub-national actors and rigid public financial management structures. It was further influenced by interpretations of the idea of 'pay-for-performance', its framing as 'additional funding', as well as contestation between actors at the sub national level about key PBF design features. Ultimately PBF ceased at the end of 2018 after donor funding stopped. Health reformers must be cognisant of the power and interests of national and sub national actors in all phases of the policy process, including both bureaucratic and political actors in health and non-health sectors. This is particularly important in devolved public governance contexts where reforms require sustained attention and budgetary commitment at the sub national level. There is also need for early involvement of critical actors to develop shared understandings of the ideas on which interventions are premised, as well as problems and solutions.

Data governance: Digital product passports as a case study

The circular economy (‘CE’) is a political goal to shift the economy towards a more circular and sustainable one. Data sharing shall close information gaps in the predominant economy and, hence, form the backbone of the transition to a CE. As part of the recent legislative proposals from the EC, “digital product passports” (‘DPPs’) are expected to constitute one-stop shops for such data and information delivery. The principal idea of DPPs is to provide product information to interested stakeholders within and outside the product value chain. However, many challenges arise with DPPs, in particular how to reconcile a broad (if no ‘open’) access to data while preserving the (legally protected) interests of certain actors, and the lack of trust concerning data use and quality between the actors. Our hypothesis are (i.) that such challenges are related to the absence of an appropriate (data) governance model for DPPs and (ii.) that data governance as a main concern within the data economy agenda could inform the regulation and operationalisation of DPPs. We analyse the – lack of - (data) governance of DPPs, both in the literature and in the recent legislative proposals from the EC. We find that data governance is significantly overlooked or considered only from a pure technological perspective (techno-solutionism), which is likely to jeopardise DPPs. As both a confirmation and a way forward, we establish connections to data governance as per the data economy agenda. In turn, the analysis of DPPs governance informs the general discussion on data governance.
