The governance of global communications is consolidating as a field
where innovative political practices of multi-actor collaboration
are being experimented. Within this broad political landscape, the
Internet governance domain is emerging as one of the most relevant
areas where institutional and non-institutional actors are
converging in order to reform collectively governance mechanisms
that will determine the future developments of the Internet
technology. This book adopts a network approach to study the
progressive and collective construction of a new discourse on
Internet governance fostered by the realization of the United
Nations Internet Governance Forum, a new "space for
multi-stakeholder policy-dialogue" (WSIS Tunis Agenda 2005, art.
72). Looking both at how semantic and social connections are
created in the online and the offline discursive spaces, this book
seeks to provide insights on how principles of democratic
collaboration between institutional and non-institutional actors
are translated into actual political dynamics; on how the global
political agenda on the governance of the Internet comes to be
shaped thanks to the provision of heterogeneous and sometimes
opposite thematic inputs; and, finally, on how the roles of States,
intergovernmental bodies, civil society entities in participatory
supra-national politics are progressively being (re)defined.
Starting form the Internet governance case study, this books aims
at providing an alternative approach to the study of supra-national
politics as well as of global communication governance processes:
one that considers simultaneously contents and processes of
political dynamics and examines how immaterial resources, such as
information and communication, become a new field for multi-actor
politics experiments, conflicts and network construction.
