Data form an increasingly essential element of contemporary politics, as both public and private actors extend claims of their legitimate control in diverse areas including health, security, and trade. This paper investigates data governance as a site of fundamental normative and political ordering processes that unfold in light of ever-increasing inter- and transnational linkages. Drawing on the concept of jurisdictional conflicts, the paper traces the evolution of data governance in three cases of transatlantic conflicts as diverging definitional claims over data. The paper argues that these conflicts reveal varying conceptualizations of data linked to four distinct visions of the social world. First, a conceptualization of data as an individual rights issue links human rights with the promotion of sovereignty to a vision of data governance as local liberalism. Second, proponents of a security partnership promote global security cooperation based on the conceptualization of data as a neutral instrument. Third, a conceptualization of data as an economic resource is linked to a vision of the digital economy that endorses progress and innovation with limited regulation. Fourth, a conceptualization of data as a collective resource links the values of universal rights and global rules to a vision of global protection.

我们实际上在谈论什么？将数据概念化为重叠管辖区中的可治理对象

随着公共和私人行为者在包括健康、安全和贸易在内的不同领域扩大其合法控制权，数据构成了当代政治中越来越重要的元素。本文将数据治理作为基本规范和政治秩序过程的场所进行调查，这些过程随着国际和跨国联系的不断增加而展开。借鉴管辖冲突的概念，本文追溯了三个跨大西洋冲突案例中数据治理的演变，作为对数据的不同定义主张。该论文认为，这些冲突揭示了与社会世界的四种不同愿景相关的数据的不同概念化。第一的，将数据概念化为个人权利问题将人权与促进主权与将数据治理视为地方自由主义的愿景联系起来。其次，安全伙伴关系的支持者在将数据概念化为中立工具的基础上促进全球安全合作。第三，将数据作为经济资源的概念化与数字经济的愿景相关联，该愿景在有限的监管下支持进步和创新。第四，将数据概念化为一种集体资源，将普遍权利和全球规则的价值与全球保护的愿景联系起来。数据作为经济资源的概念化与数字经济的愿景相关联，该愿景在有限的监管下支持进步和创新。第四，将数据概念化为一种集体资源，将普遍权利和全球规则的价值与全球保护的愿景联系起来。数据作为经济资源的概念化与数字经济的愿景相关联，该愿景在有限的监管下支持进步和创新。第四，将数据概念化为一种集体资源，将普遍权利和全球规则的价值与全球保护的愿景联系起来。
