In each case, Gille analyzes how practices of production and consumption were affected by the proliferation of new standards and regulations that came with entry into the EU. She identifies a new modality of power (the materialization of politics, or achieving political goals with the seemingly apolitical tools of tinkering with technology and infrastructure) and elucidates a new approach to understanding globalization, materiality, and transnational politics UR - https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&AN=1155238 ER -
