    GigaNet – the Global Internet Governance Academic Network – is now
    accepting extended abstracts for papers to be presented at its
    annual symposium. GigaNet 2019 will be held alongside the United
    Nations Internet Governance Forum (IGF) in Berlin.  We expect our
    symposium to be held on “Day 0” of the IGF, which is Monday,
    November 25.

    GigaNet is an international association of academic researchers
    founded in 2006 to support multidisciplinary research on Internet
    governance. Its membership includes researchers from all over the
    world who are contributing to local, national, regional, and
    international debates on Internet governance. More information on
    GigaNet’s organizational structures and activities can be found on
    its website athttp://www.giga-net.org <http://www.giga-net.org/>.

    Papers on any Internet governance-related topic are solicited.
    Welcome topics include, but are not limited to:

      * Norm development by states and/or non-state actors
      * Cross-regional dynamics (East-West, South-South, East-South,
        South-West, etc.)
      * Governance of/by content, e.g. narratives, disclosures, censorship
      * Sovereignty (internal, external) and commons-based governance
      * Cybersecurity and cyber conflict among states
      * Governance within new top-level domains
      * Technical standards as norms
      * Theories of and methods applicable to Internet governance research
      * Multi-disciplinary and inter-disciplinary approaches

    GigaNet is oriented around the presentation of research papers.
    Extended abstract should consist of 800-1500 words and must describe:

    1) The research question(s),

    2) The data used,

    3) The methodology and

    4) The main findings of the paper.

    Theoretical papers need not specify the data used but must have a
    clear research question and statement of the specific theories used
    and literature in which the analysis is situated.

    Reviews of individual papers will be double blind. Therefore, do not
    include names or any other personally identifiable information on
    the uploaded file.  (Be aware, however, that applicants will submit
    through the Easychair platform, which will record their names and
    contact data, and the program committee chair will be able to see
    that information.)

    GigaNet encourages emerging scholars to submit their work to the
    symposium. Proposals should be submitted in English.

    For submission, the extended abstract must be uploaded to the
    Easychair website (URL above) by*15 June 2019*.

    We expect to complete reviews and to notify authors of acceptances
    within 5 weeks after submission, i.e. by 15 July 2019. Accepted
    authors must confirm their attendance within two weeks of
    notification and must submit their final paper within 6 weeks of
    notification, i.e. by 1 October 2019.
