GigaNet – the Global Internet Governance Academic Network – is now 
accepting extended abstracts for papers to be presented at its annual 
symposium in Paris. The theme of this year's Symposium is:____

__ __

NOT THE 'NEW OIL' - DATA GOVERNANCE AND THE INTERNET____

__ __

By creating global compatibility and interoperability for nearly all 
forms of digital data, the Internet has created a new economy centered 
on the value and use of data. Metaphors of “data as the new oil,” 
however, can encourage policies of hoarding, bordering and nationalizing 
information. We encourage submissions of papers that take a fresher look 
at the global political economy and governance of data and its 
relationship to Internet governance. We encourage papers that address 
the international economics and policy of “big data,” the global impact 
of the European GDPR; industrial data sharing and the Internet of 
things; the economic and political impact of data uses by AI tools; the 
regulation of data sharing across borders, including data localization 
laws; platforms, data, manipulation and verification. ____


While papers related to the symposium theme are encouraged, GigaNet is a 
home for all scholars of Internet governance; its annual symposium is 
intended to build and showcase the entire field. Authors from any 
Internet governance-related topic and methodological or theoretical 
approach are invited to submit their work. Topics that are welcome 
include, but are not limited to:____

__ __

* The role of sovereignty in cyberspace____

* Trade agreements and Internet governance____

* Cybersecurity and cyber conflict among great powers____

* Multistakeholder governance and the distribution of power in IG 
institutions____

* The transparency and inclusiveness of post-transition ICANN____

  * Policy issues related to domain names and IP addresses____

* The role of Internet intermediaries in Internet governance____
