Core Thesis
B/Orders are arrangements between actors who are guided by their respective interests. Technology is used to transform and interconnect (or separate) societies, which causes re-arrangements of B/Orders.

Tensions of Europe
Motion involves Technology and (re-)Arrangements
Technology-Arrangement Nexus
Technology is conceived in a broad sense as technological systems, consisting of artefacts, organizations, scientific and legal components, resources, people, etc. In order to avoid determinism, the approach applies the concept of (re-)Arrangement. The nexus of technology and arrangements is pivotal for understanding societal transformations.
