This book introduces the concept of Technical Normative Power (TNP) to explain how the European Union (EU) transforms internal legal frameworks into external influence.Over the past two decades, the EU has emerged as a global regulatory force in the digital age. As technologies such as big data, cloud computing, and generative artificial intelligence reshape modern life, the EU has responded with a legal model grounded in rights-based governance, institutional coherence, and judicial authority. This book focuses on two emblematic instruments: the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Artificial Intelligence Act (AIA). It examines how both EU legislation and the case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) work together to set global standards in data protection, AI governance, and digital rights. The EU’s ability to combine legal consistency, regulatory ambition, and market access has made it a key actor in shaping the global digital order. Structured in three parts, the book traces the evolution of EU digital regulation, analyzes the mechanisms of its legal and institutional architecture, and evaluates its impact on global governance.This book will be of interest to scholars, students, and professionals in EU law, digital regulation, artificial intelligence, and the law of emerging technologies.

This book explores the legal and societal implications of autonomous vehicles (AVs), drawing on historical examples of disruptive technologies and the complex process of their adoption. Employing broad interdisciplinary perspectives, Guy Seidman and Aviv Gaon imagine how the socio-cultural perception of AVs might develop and how they could fit into the urban landscape.Seidman and Gaon argue that AVs, despite their limitations, offer a significant improvement over the current state of human driving. They examine how the high costs of human-driven cars, including inefficiencies, pollution, and loss of life, justify the continued pursuit of self-driving cars. Chapters also cover other important topics such as social norms, social isolation, and traffic law. While the future of AVs is uncertain, understanding the socio-legal context can prepare society for the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.The Social and Legal Impact of Autonomous Vehicles is a thought-provoking read for researchers and students in the fields of law and society, law and technology, legal theory, transport geography, mobilities, and administrative and public law.
