Creative advancements in the field of information technology are
rapidly transforming and reinventing former governmental practices,
opening the door to new possibilities in areas such as digital
citizenship and e-politics. Electronic Constitution: Social,
Cultural, and Political Implications provides analysis of the
relationship between digital information technologies and politics,
relating these issues to the historical system transformation.
Addressing researchers, scholars, and students of advanced courses
in political disciplines, this book highlights technological
innovation as a strategy of reorganization in
political-institutional systems.
Diplomatic efforts to ease tensions around the governance of
transnational digital infrastructure is increasingly at the centre
of global politics. However, the translation of this new dimension
of diplomacy into a tangible concept is still limited and vague.
For some, digital diplomacy is restricted to the use of digital
means, especially social networks, by diplomats to practice a kind
of "Public Diplomacy 2.0". This collection approaches digital
diplomacy beyond the instrumental use of digital technologies for
diplomatic practices. It consider digital infrastructure generating
new spaces of conflicts as such, where new diplomatic practices
take space in order to facilitate the negotiations among parties
about the governance, policy developments and technical solutions
of the internet. The approach to digital diplomacy extends to
foreign affairs and international relations, and with regard to all
emerging international tensions clustered around digital
environments, including cybersecurity and internet governance. This
collection unfolds the concept of digital diplomacy to understand
and formalize digital diplomacy across all its dimensions and from
multiple interdisciplinary perspectives, and includes contributions
addressing diplomacy around the international debate on the
governance of the internet. A special emphasis is given to the role
of the European Union, its member states and its neighborhood in a
field historically dominated by US voices in the debate, due to its
crucial role in the history of the internet but also because of the
leading position of US internet giants in the global digital
market. This book approaches the topic from an interdisciplinary
perspective, by including contributions from leading scholars in
the field of internet governance, approaching the topics from
multiple backgrounds and disciplines, combining complementary novel
theoretical approaches and empirically grounded research in the
field of the governance of the internet as a diplomacy issue.
