Therefore, the edited collection focuses on the governance of such economic activities, and how they organize labour, cooperation and social life. From individual motivations to participating, to platform use by local groups, until platform design in its political as well as technological dimensions, the book provides a comparative overview and critical discussion on the processes, narratives and organizational models at play in the collaborative economy. On such a basis, the volume offers tools, suggestions and visions for the future that may inform the designing of policies, technologies, and business models in Europe.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1.\tIntroduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2.\tSocio-environmental determinants of willingness to participate in the collaborative economy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3.\tThe Influence of Demographics, Attitudinal and Behavioural Characteristics on Motives to Participate in the Sharing Economy and Expected Benefits of Participation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4.\tIn the scenario of sustainable mobility and pandemic emergency\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5.\tWhy are we still using Facebook?
