metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article is devoted to the transformation of relations between the state and corporations in
  the emerging digital economy. In recent years, politicians and experts have actively discussed
  the need to revise international and national rules governing the activities of transnational corporations.
  The emergence of platform companies in the framework of the digitalization of the
  economy has created legal lacunae and political difficulties in the tax policy of most states. The
  lack of a coherent policy does not allow to stop the “tax competition” between countries, which
  destroys the foundations of the tax system. Under these conditions, the most mobile capital, “tax
  competition”, the presence of numerous offshore and the threat of transferring production creates
  effective mechanisms of constant pressure on governments. In this regard, there is a need
  to develop new principles of regulatory policy at the international and national levels. The article
  discusses the conditions and factors that contributed to the formation of platform companies in
  the period after the 2008 financial crisis. Ideological concepts accompanying the development
  of the platform economy model are considered separately. One of them is “sharing economy”,
  promoted by platform companies as a cooperative space for cooperation and resource sharing. In
  addition, a description and analysis of the negative socio-economic and political effects created
  by the “platform capitalism” model are given. In particular, the transformation is analyzed by platform
  companies in various fields (urban governance, online trade, taxi services, courier delivery).
  The article shows concrete examples of how «platform capitalism» enhances the socio-economic
  and political negative effects inherent in neoliberalism (“corporate market take-over”, the formation
  of a technocratic governance model, precarization of employment, city gentrification). The
  article, based on a study of the structural contradictions of the platform economy, demonstrates the reasons for the rise of a new wave of mass protest by trade unions and social movements
  united by an anti-corporate agenda.
