This innovative book provides transdisciplinary analyses of the
nature and dynamics of digital game environments whilst tackling
the existing fragmentation of academic research.Digital game
environments are of increasing economic, social and cultural value.
As their influence on diverse facets of life grows, states have
felt compelled to intervene and secure some public interests. Yet,
the contours of a comprehensive governance model are far from
recognisable and governments are grappling with the complexity and
fluidity of online games and virtual worlds as private spaces and
as experimentation fields for creativity and innovation. This book
contributes to a more comprehensive and fine-grained understanding
of digital game environments, which is a precondition for
addressing any of the pressing governance questions posed.
Particular attention is given to the concept and policy objective
of cultural diversity, which also offers a unique entry point into
the discussion of the appropriate legal regulation of digital
games.Governance of Digital Game Environments and Cultural
Diversity will be of interest to researchers of media law, internet
law and governance, cultural studies, anthropology and sociology.
As the book addresses a highly topical theme, it will attract the
attention of policymakers at national, regional and international
levels and will also serve as a great resource tool for scholars in
new media and in particular digital games and virtual worlds.
