Description

"The chapter resists both of the familiar stories about blockchain and the state, that it displaces state sovereignty, or that states simply absorb and extend it. Instead, they show multiple digital sovereignties being asserted at once, by states, markets, and non-state actors, overlapping and contesting one another. The chapter is open access, and the full Companion is well worth a look for anyone working on digital sovereignty."
