Internet Governance: Origins, Current Issues, and Future
Possibilities deals with Internet governance and includes computer
history, Internet beginnings, institutions and stakeholders,
proposed models of governance, and human rights. The concept of
Internet governance covers an exceptionally complex and rapidly
changing field of norms and rules. Its origins and conflicts engage
many disciplines and give rise to technical standards with
contributions from a wide range of stakeholders. At the same time,
the Internet has increasingly become the dominant reality for all
the information processing industries. The ultimate goal of the
book is to establish a foundation for identifying a new model of
governance for the Internet. In doing so, the book honors the
efforts of previous scholars who have considered and proposed other
models for the governance of the Internet. Among its aims, the book
is intended as an introduction for the novice to the subject of
internet governance. The first two chapters offer a historical
foundation of the institutions and the debate. The next two
chapters discuss the evolution of that debate over the last twenty
years. The final two discuss the present and future ramifications
of the debate and include the author's attempts to sketch a
practical plan for a new concept of Internet governance. This book
provides an introductory, multidisciplinary account of the forces
at work in the evolving concept of internet governance for scholars
in the information studies fields, including computer, information
and library science. It should also be useful for scholars in the
fields of international law, international relations, diplomacy
studies and political science.
