Welcome to the second issue of Policy & Internet and the first

of 2010! We are pleased to present six articles that spread across
the  
scope of the journal laid out in the first article of the first
issue,  
The Internet and Public Policy (Margetts, 2009). Three articles
cover  
some aspect of trust, identified as one of the key values
associated  
with the Internet and likely to emerge in policy trends. The other  
three articles all bring internet-related technologies to center
stage  
in policy change. You may access any of the articles below at no charge.

About this journal
 From the Oxford Internet Institute and the Policy Studies  
Organization, Policy & Internet is the first major
peer-reviewed  
journal investigating the implications of the Internet and
associated  
technologies for public policy. The Internet is now the most
important  
international medium of communication and information exchange,  
embedded in interactions between citizens, firms, governments, and  
NGOs, and bringing with it new practices, norms, and structures.
The  
societal shift enabled by the Internet has major implications for  
public policy in all sectors, requiring rigorous empirical  
investigation, theoretical development and methodological
innovation  
across academic disciplines. Policy & Internet will be the
premier  
venue for scholars and researchers to set the public policy agenda
in  
the digital era.
