Subject(s):

INTERNET -- GOVERNANCE

Summary: Clear discussion of what is meant by governance of the internet, the interested parties, the technology, and how the internet is fundamentally different to previous forms of communication. Notes that the roles of civil society and the private sector are as important as, or even more important than, those of governments in relation to the internet. Although these are early days the book suggests that no existing form of international institution is appropriate to the need; the new institutions are likely to set precedents for other areas that are beyond the remit or competence of nation states.
