A groundbreaking study of one of the most crucial yet least
understood issues of the twenty-first century: the governance of
the Internet and its content The Internet has transformed the
manner in which information is exchanged and business is conducted,
arguably more than any other communication development in the past
century. Despite its wide reach and powerful global influence, it
is a medium uncontrolled by any one centralized system,
organization, or governing body, a reality that has given rise to
all manner of free-speech issues and cybersecurity concerns. The
conflicts surrounding Internet governance are the new spaces where
political and economic power is unfolding in the twenty-first
century. This all-important study by Laura DeNardis reveals the
inner power structure already in place within the architectures and
institutions of Internet governance. It provides a theoretical
framework for Internet governance that takes into account the
privatization of global power as well as the role of sovereign
nations and international treaties. In addition, DeNardis explores
what is at stake in open global controversies and stresses the
responsibility of the public to actively engage in these debates,
because Internet governance will ultimately determine Internet
freedom.
