BOOK

The Internet has transformed the manner in which information is
exchanged and business is conducted, arguably more than any other
communication development in the past century. Despite its wide
reach and powerful global influence, it is a medium uncontrolled
by any one centralized system, organization, or governing body, a
reality that has given rise to all manner of free-speech issues
and cybersecurity concerns. The conflicts surrounding Internet
governance are the new spaces where political and economic power
is unfolding in the twenty-first century

This all-important study by Laura DeNardis reveals the inner
power structure already in place within the architectures and
institutions of Internet governance. It provides a theoretical
framework for Internet governance that takes into account the
privatization of global power as well as the role of sovereign
nations and international treaties. In addition, DeNardis
explores what is at stake in open global controversies and
stresses the responsibility of the public to actively engage in
these debates, because Internet governance will ultimately
determine Internet freedom
