The Constitutional Governance of Digital Infrastructures: Sovereignty, Public Service, and Democratic Legitimacy from a Comparative Public Law Perspective
Scientific-Disciplinary Group
12/GIUR-11 - Comparative Law
Description
Digital infrastructures – cloud computing networks, broadband systems, operating systems, data centres, and artificial intelligence architectures – have become the connective tissue of constitutional democracy. They are no longer neutral or purely technical domains but rather the very frameworks through which public authority is exercised, rights are realised, and sovereignty is expressed. Their regulation cannot be confined to economic competition or market design: it has become a question of constitutional governance. The research project aims at investigating the regulation of digital infrastructure from the perspective of comparative public law, focusing on how constitutional principles such as legality, proportionality, accountability, and the continuity of public service are being redefined for the digital age in different jurisdictions.
