[ecrea] Internet Policy Review Special Issue 'Doing Internet Governance'

Fri Oct 07 09:57:55 GMT 2016





please find below a link to the special issue of Internet Policy Review titled: "Doing internet governance: practices, controversies, infrastructures, and institutions." It was edited by Dmitry Epstein, Christian Katzenbach, and myself.

Briefly: This special issue makes an argument for, and illustrates, the applicability of a science and technology studies (STS) informed approach to internet governance research. The conceptual framework put forward in this editorial and the articles composing this issue add to the mainstream internet governance scholarship by unpacking macro questions of politics and power. They do so through the analysis of the mundane and taken-for-granted practices and discourses that constitute the design, regulation, maintenance, and use of both technical and institutional arrangements of internet governance. Together, this body of work calls to rethink how we conceptualise both internet and governance.

The issue includes an editorial and 10 articles:
