Platform companies like Uber not only disrupt existing markets but also contest existing regulatory regimes. This raises the question of how, when, and why such companies are regulated. This article develops, tests, and defends a theoretical framework that explains the politics of regulatory response to the rise of platform capitalism. Using discourse network analysis and a case study on the regulation of Uber in New York, it shows that the success or failure of regulations depends on the ability of actors to mobilize broad coalition; that narratives affect the composition of these coalitions; and that platform companies have both unique political strengths and vulnerabilities. This article makes substantive contributions to our understanding of the politics of platform capitalism, and it makes theoretical contributions to the literature studies on coalitional politics, ideational institutionalism, and business power.

平台资本主义的政治:以纽约优步监管为例

像优步这样的平台公司不仅扰乱了现有市场,而且还在挑战现有的监管制度。这就提出了如何、何时以及为何对此类公司进行监管的问题。本文开发、测试和捍卫了一个理论框架,该框架解释了监管对平台资本主义兴起的反应的政治性。通过话语网络分析和对纽约优步监管的案例研究表明,监管的成败取决于行动者动员广泛联盟的能力;叙述会影响这些联盟的组成;并且平台公司既有独特的政治优势,也有弱点。本文对我们理解平台资本主义政治做出了实质性贡献,
