Annie BLANDIN is an Enseignant Chercheur (Professor) at IMT Atlantique, a leading French technological university, where she is affiliated with the Department of Network Systems, Cyber Security and Digital Law at the Rennes campus. Her academic work bridges legal studies and digital technology, focusing on the evolving relationship between law, governance, and the digital world. Professor BLANDIN's research interests center on digital law and governance, with particular emphasis on European digital sovereignty, data protection frameworks, internet regulation, telecommunications law, and the intersection of market forces with digital rights. Her work critically examines how legal frameworks can address the power dynamics between large digital platforms and nation-states, exploring whether law can serve as a tool for digital sovereignty rather than merely accommodating existing technological and economic power structures. Her recent publications (2020-2024) reveal a consistent focus on European regulatory approaches to digital challenges, with particular attention to data sovereignty, digital market regulation, and the geopolitical dimensions of internet governance. Her work demonstrates a sophisticated understanding of how digital sovereignty operates both as a factual reality shaped by platform dominance and as a legal construct that can be shaped through regulation and ethical frameworks. 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. Her scholarly contributions appear across various formats including peer-reviewed journal articles, conference papers, book chapters, and research reports. She frequently collaborates with other scholars from diverse disciplines, reflecting the interdisciplinary nature of digital governance issues. Her work has been cited in academic and policy contexts, particularly regarding European approaches to digital sovereignty and data protection.
