© The Author(s) 2017. The commentary raises political questions about the ways in which data has been constituted as an object vested with certain powers, influence, and rationalities. We place the emergence and transformation of professional practices such as 'data science', 'data journalism', 'data brokerage', 'data mining', 'data storage', and 'data analysis' as part of the reconfiguration of a series of fields of power and knowledge in the public and private accumulation of data. Data politics asks questions about the ways in which data has become such an object of power and explores how to critically intervene in its deployment as an object of knowledge. It is concerned with the conditions of possibility of data that involve things (infrastructures of servers, devices, and cables), language (code, programming, and algorithms), and people (scientists, entrepreneurs, engineers, information technologists, designers) that together create new worlds. We define 'data politics' as both the articulation of political questions about these worlds and the ways in which they provoke subjects to govern themselves and others by making rights claims. We contend that without understanding these conditions of possibility – of worlds, subjects and rights – it would be difficult to intervene in or shape data politics if by that it is meant the transformation of data subjects into data citizens.

Operations Research 61(3), 2013, pp. 532-543. ; ECollege.xlsm accompanies the paper "Blotto Politics" ; This paper considers abstract election games by the United State Electoral College (USEC). There are two political parties, and the electoral votes in each state go to the party that spends the most money there, with an adjustment for a "head start" that one party or the other may have in that state. The states have unequal numbers of electoral votes, and elections are decided by majority rules. Each party has a known budget, and much depends on the information that informs how that budget is spent. Three situations are considered: (1) one party's spending plan is known to the other, (2) spending is gradually revealed as the parties spend continuously in time, and (3) neither side knows anything about the other's spending. The last situation resembles a Blotto game, hence the title.

Pressekonferenzen, Staatsempfänge, Fototermine– die mediale Vermittlung von Politik bedient sich standardisierter Ausschnitte der politischen Realität zur mediengerechten Verpackung schwer vermittelbarer Inhalte. Nicht nur die Politik, sondern auch ihre Berichterstattung erscheinen damit als ständig wiederkehrendes Ritual. Untersucht werden die Hintergründe und Formen typisierter Darstellungsmuster sowie das routinierte und sich selbst verstärkende Wechselspiel zwischen den Elementen der expressiven Selbstdarstellung sowie der medialen Fremddarstellung von Politik. Die Vermittlungsmechanismen der symbolischen Anreicherung, Personalisierung, Ritualisierung und Emotionalisierung politischer Information dienen dabei nicht nur der Reduktion von Komplexität, sondern ermöglichen gleichzeitig die Konstruktion demonstrativer Publizität, die unter dem Gewand der Medientauglichkeit wünschenswerte Ausschnitte politischer Wirklichkeiten selektiert, stilisiert und stetig reproduziert.

In countries transitioning from military to democratic rule, authoritarian legacies often continue to influence politics. Whereas previous research has focused on the institutional causes of such deficiencies, there is a lack of studies examining the role ex-military leaders who re-emerge as civilian presidents have in sustaining authoritarian tendencies. In this article, we begin to fill this lacuna by investigating the question: how and under which conditions do ex-military leaders' political identity constructions affect their tendency to place themselves above politics (i.e. expressing the attitude and behaviour of being superior to democratic rules)? The literature on neo-patrimonialism and post-civil war politics points to the importance of the political identities of ex-militaries, and we propose a theory that highlights the role identity construction plays in shaping elites' decision-making processes. Based on a comparison of two Nigerian presidents, Olusegun Obasanjo and Muhammadu Buhari, we find that ex-generals' tendency to engage in politics from above is largely a function of to what extent they have diversified their political identities beyond their role as "militaries". In this process, the degree of democratic consolidation also seems to play a role; ex-militaries operating in newly established democracies appear to have more opportunities to place themselves above politics.

The academic literature on celebrity politics is rarely systematic; more often it is superficial and anecdotal. In addition, most of the literature focuses either upon classifying different types/categories of celebrity politicians and their roles in politics, or upon the question of whether the growth of celebrity politics undermines or enhances democracy. In this article we consider both of these issues more systematically and, in doing so, work towards a more coherent understanding of the mechanisms that influence modern governance and the operation of contemporary democracy.
