ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

This book is one of several outcomes from a process that started with a meeting between academics from Liverpool Hope University and Globalisation Studies Groningen, University of Groningen, on a sunny day in the Netherlands in 2013. The common theme of the dialogue revolved around the wide range of challenges related to the advent of the Big Data age. Other academics and practitioners have since joined the network, and several of them have kindly contributed to this book. The International Network Observatory (INO), a consortium of Academic and Non-Academic Partners on Big Data, Global Strategy and Ethics, has been founded. More information on INO can be found on http://www. networkobservatory.org/ We would like to thank our institutions for facilitating the fruitful dialogue that resulted in this work, as well as all those who supported our work i
