The research shows increasing attention to practical implementation challenges of digital rights, such as data portability, and the international dimensions of digital governance, particularly regarding EU-Asia and EU-Canada relations. Professor BLANDIN has maintained a productive academic career spanning nearly three decades, with publications dating back to 1996. Her early work focused on telecommunications regulation within the European context, evolving to address broader digital governance issues as technology advanced. She has authored significant books including Droits et souveraineté numérique en Europe (2016) and L'Union européenne et internet : entre logique de marché et préoccupations citoyennes (2001), demonstrating her longstanding engagement with the legal and policy challenges posed by digital technologies.
