Beschreibung

A handful of platforms now decide who gets seen, paid, and heard. Borders matter less than terms of service. This book shows how digital colonialism grows from convenience, why platform capitalism extracts value without planting a flag, and how to rebuild agency with open standards and interoperability policy.
You will learn how digital monopolies shape markets, how data governance and AI governance determine who benefits from innovation, and why the global south dependency problem is a design choice, not a fate. Drawing on field interviews, clear frameworks, and pragmatic examples, it offers leaders, founders, policy teams, and citizens a way to assess platforms, negotiate better contracts, and measure real outcomes rather than promises.
For readers who want principled progress without retreating from technology, this is a route map: use tech diplomacy to bargain collectively, hardwire algorithmic accountability into procurement, and transform dependency into capability. If you work in government, civil society, or a growing business, it will help you tell the difference between digital help and digital enclosure, and choose accordingly.

Über den Autor

Soraya Fenwicke is a Kenyan-British political economist whose work examines how technology reshapes power, prosperity, and citizenship in the Global South. She has advised civic groups and social enterprises on platform strategy, data governance, and ethical procurement, translating complex debates into choices that people and institutions can act on. Raised between Nairobi and London, she carries a lived understanding of how code written in one capital can reorder life in another. Her writing threads postcolonial insight with practical policy thinking, arguing for open standards, fair contracts, and institutions that learn. She believes independence in the digital age begins with capability, not slogans.
