Power and counter-power in the digital society

How is power constituted in the digital society? Who is powerful – and how can power be countered and contested? On 12 December 2017, Manuel Castells held the opening lecture of our lecture series ‘Making Sense of Digital Society’, organised in cooperation with the German Federal Agency for Civic Education (bpb). Prior to his lecture Jeanette Hofmann, Director of the HIIG and Professor of Internet Politics at the Freie Universität Berlin, met Professor Castells for an interview to discuss his work.
