GIGANET - Global Internet Governance Academic Network


CALL FOR PAPERS



8th Annual Symposium

21 October 2013

Bali, Indonesia



Deadline for abstract submission: July 1 2013





The Global Internet Governance Academic Network (GigaNet) is seeking 
research submissions about Internet Governance to be presented at its 
Eighth Annual Symposium, held on 21 October 2013, one day before the 
United Nations Internet Governance Forum (IGF) in Bali, Indonesia.



GigaNet is a scholarly community that promotes the development of 
Internet Governance as a recognized, interdisciplinary field of study 
and facilitates informed dialogue on policy issues and related matters 
between scholars and governments, international organizations, the 
private sector and civil society. http://giga-net.org/



Since 2006, GigaNet has organized an Annual Symposium to showcase 
research about Internet Governance, bringing together researchers from a 
wide range of disciplines and fields. As in previous years, the 
symposium will provide room to discuss current and future questions as 
well as the challenges encountered and results achieved in global 
Internet governance.



Conference themes



GigaNet is interested in receiving abstracts related to Internet 
Governance themes, especially those containing innovative approaches 
and/or emerging research areas. This year, we are especially encouraging 
submissions on two interwoven themes:



• Cybersecurity, cybersurveillance, cyberespionage and cyberwarfare and

• State and non-state actor efforts to control the Internet



The program committee welcomes proposals on any other topics related to 
global Internet governance.



This year, one panel will be especially devoted to emerging scholars in 
the field. We define emerging scholars as doctoral students working on 
an approved proposal through scholars who have received their PhD within 
the past three years.



Accepted papers from senior scholars will be presented and discussed in 
a roundtable format involving business, government and technical 
community representatives, while emerging scholars will present their 
work in a more traditional academic panel. In both cases, presenters 
should expect to have conversations about their work with people from a 
wide range of stakeholder groups.





Submissions

Interested scholars should submit abstracts of their research paper at 
the Easy Chair platform:



https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=giganet2013



The deadline for submission is July 1, 2013!



Paper proposals should be submitted following these requirements:

§ An abstract of 800-1000 words, in English, where it is mandatory to 
describe the main research goal(s) and the methodological background of 
the paper

§ A short bio note focused on institutional affiliations, advanced 
degrees, scholarly publications and work in the field of Internet 
Governance and related issues (for example ICTs). Please include a link 
to a more detailed CV.

§ Authors of accepted abstracts must submit their final papers by 30 
September 2013. Those unable to do so will be removed from the program.



Process and publication

The Program Committee will evaluate submitted abstracts and inform 
proposal authors of acceptance decisions by email before 29 July 2013.



Accepted submissions and final papers will be published on the GigaNet 
website. An online publication with selected papers on the main 
challenges of Internet Governance is also planned for the Bali IGF.
