Biography
Gabriella Paár-Jákli is an Assistant Professor of Political Science at Kent State University.
"This is a must-read pioneering work. It links our understanding of cutting edge science and technology policy issues locally and regionally in the context of today's transatlantic diplomacy and recognizes the power of networks that cross national and physical boundaries."
—Nanette S. Levinson, American University School of International Service
"Paár-Jákli’s work provides a fresh and compelling analysis of an underappreciated aspect of the transatlantic relationship. By highlighting the role of digital networks, the author introduces a dynamic new component in the evolving relationship between North America and Europe. The volume updates transatlantic relations in an interesting and thought-provoking fashion."
