Who gov­erns the internet?

Inter­net gov­er­nance con­cerns the ques­tions of how the inter­net remains tech­ni­cal­ly, social­ly and polit­i­cal­ly func­tion­al. How exact­ly does inter­net reg­u­la­tion work and what are the pos­si­bil­i­ties of control?

Who gov­erns the Inter­net? attempts to answer these ques­tions. Our authors pro­vide an overview of the his­to­ry of inter­net reg­u­la­tion, explain­ing reg­u­la­to­ry approach­es and high­light­ing ways the inter­net can be active­ly shaped. In addi­tion, the rel­e­vant actors in the field are intro­duced, a glos­sary explains the most impor­tant terms and fur­ther links, infor­ma­tion and ref­er­ences help read­ers delve fur­ther into the topic.
