Infrastructuring public-private relations: Big Tech, the Ukraine War and implications to security governance
Journal: European Journal of International Relations
Year: 2025

This paper demonstrates how an infrastructural lens offers novel ways of interrogating public-private relations in International Relations (IR). Advancing the idea that infrastructures mediate public-private relations, the paper argues that an infrastructural approach is well positioned to capture both the productivity and ambiguity of public-private boundary drawing in international politics. It deploys the infrastructural approach to examine Big Tech and state relations in the war in Ukraine.
