By Joanna Kulesza

This book discusses the international legal issues underlying Internet
Governance and proposes an international solution to its problems. The book
encompasses a wide spectrum of current debate surrounding the governance of
the internet and focuses on the areas and issues which urgently require
attention from the international community in order to sustain the proper
functioning of the global network that forms the foundation of our
information fuelled society. Among the topics discussed are international
copyright protection, state responsibility for cyber-attacks
(cyberterrorism), and international on-line privacy protection.

Taking a comparative approach by examining how different jurisdictions such
as the United States, the European Union, China and Singapore have attempted
various solutions to the problem of Internet Governance, the author offers a
practical solution to the problem and is a proponent of International
Internet Law. Kulesza suggests that just as in the case of International
Environmental Law, an Internet Framework Convention could shape the starting
point for international cooperation and lead to a clear, contractual
division of state jurisdictional competences.

International Internet Law is of particular interest to legal scholars
engaged with the current challenges in international law and international
relations, as well as students of law, international relations and political
science. The issues discussed in the book are also relevant to journalists
and other media professionals, facing the challenges of analyzing current
international developments in cyberspace.
