The Information Society is one of the recurrent imaginaries to
describe present-day structures, discourses and practices. Within
its meaning is enshrined the promise of a better world, sometimes
naively assuming a technological deus ex machina, in other cases
hoping for the creation of policy tools that will overcome a
diversity of societal divides.
With the two-phased World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS),
the United Nations attempted to stimulate the development of such
tools.
Simultaneously, the WSIS is a large-scale experiment in
multistakeholderism. The objective was to create a more balanced
decision-making process that would allow the voices of civil
society and business actors to be heard in international politics.
This book aims to evaluate the potentialities of both the
Information Society, and the WSIS in supporting and constructing
more democratic, just and developed societies. It is the second
book arising from the intellectual work of European Consortium for
Communications Research members.
