This edited volume brings together experts from around the world to
provide coverage and analysis of infrastructure's role in Internet
governance, both now and in the future. Never in history have
conflicts over Internet governance attracted such widespread
attention. High-profile controversies include the disclosures about
NSA surveillance by intelligence analyst Edward Snowden,
controversy over a decision by the US government to relinquish its
historic oversight of Internet names and numbers, and countless
cybersecurity breaches involving unauthorized access to Internet
users' personal data. Much of the Internet governance
ecosystem-both technical architecture and coordinating
institutions-is behind the scenes but increasingly carries
significant public interest implications. An area once concealed in
institutional and technological complexity is now rightly bracketed
among other shared global issues-such as environmental protection
and human rights-that have considerable global implications but are
simply incongruous with national borders. This transformation into
an era of global governance by Internet infrastructure presents a
moment of opportunity for scholars to bring these politicized
infrastructures to the foreground.
