This book evaluates the national implementation of the United
Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities
(CRPD) in ASEAN. Working with country-specific research teams, the
contributors compiled detailed case-studies of CRPD implementation
in each country in ASEAN. This book presents a detailed overview of
the problem, the relevant literature, and the conceptual framework,
and then it explores the implementation of the CRPD in each of the
ten countries in Southeast Asia. Details include the factors that
influenced each country to ratify the CRPD, the focal point
structure of implementation, the independent mechanism established
to monitor the implementation, and the civil society organizations
involved. This book also evaluates the implications of CRPD
implementation for human rights and development in ASEAN, including
the degree of institutionalized support for persons with
disabilities, the development objectives of the CRPD against the
strategic objectives of the ASEAN economic community and the
broader ASEAN community, and the way these developments compare
with those in other countries and regions. Working with
country-specific research teams, the editors compiled detailed
case-studies of CRPD implementation on each country in ASEAN. This
book presents a detailed overview of the problem and the relevant
literature. The contributors also offer conclusions on the research
and national and ASEAN-level recommendations for moving forward.

This book examines the role of transnational advocacy networks in
enabling effective participation for individual citizens in the
deliberative processes of global governance. Contextualized around
the international conference setting of the United
Nations-sponsored World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) in
2003 and 2005, the book sees epistemic communities and information
and communication technologies (ICTs) as critical to the
effectiveness of this important organizational form. Historically,
governments have dominated the official "conference diplomacy"
surrounding these World Summits. However, reflecting the UN General
Assembly resolution authorizing WSIS, transnational civil society
and private sector organizations were invited to participate as
official partners in a multistakeholder dialogue at the summit
alongside the more traditional governments and international
organizations. This book asks: are transnational advocacy networks
active in the global information society influential partners in
these global governance processes, or merely symbolic tokens-or
pawns? Cogburn explores the factors that enabled some networks-such
as the Internet Governance Caucus-to persist and thrive, while
others failed, and sees linkages with epistemic communities-such as
the Global Internet Governance Academic Network-and ICTs as
critical to network effectiveness.
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.
