Beschreibung

The book begins with an analysis of the technological infrastructure environment and of the manifold regulatory theories developed in the Internet Governance context. Based on this foundation the transnational normative ecosystem is outlined, followed by a detailed discussion of the substantive Internet Governance principles (such as legitimacy, participation, transparency, accountability). These considerations lead to the presentation of relevant international legal concepts (duty of co-operation, global public goods, shared spaces, due diligence, State responsibility) that merit more attention. The outlook proposes potential approaches for improving the future of the Internet Governance design.

Preface

Internet governance is on the move. For the last 20 years, governments (international organizations and national bodies), businesses and non-governmental entities, civil society as well as academia have attempted to develop a normative framework for the Internet world. The globalization of data exchanges and of digital transactions calls for innovative principles of governance and for the transformation of traditional concepts in order to adequately reflect the expectations of all involved Internet actors. As a result, there is a need to re-think the social, cultural, economic, technical, and legal spheres of the new environment.

At the beginning, Internet governance mainly had a technological foundation. In the meantime, experience has shown that political challenges gained importance over the previous “technical” issues. As a consequence, it is imperative to embed the applicable regulations into a normative Internet governance ecosystem. Accordingly, the rule-making power over the mechanics of the Internet warrants a broader assessment.

During the last two decades, the author was involved in the development of Internet governance concepts in legal and in interdisciplinary research projects as well as in his capacity as expert for international organizations and as member of global associations in this field. In 2017, some key results and insights from this work were published as re-prints in a book (“Normative Movements in Internet Governance and Cyberlaw”, Bern 2017). Since then new developments have occurred and merit to be analyzed; therefore, an update of and a conceptual “upgrade” on the manifold fresh ideas seems timely.

The present publication aims at giving an overview of the most relevant legal principles that play a substantive role in the Internet governance context as well as at designing possible rule-making pillars for an adequate normative Internet environment. Irrespective of some political tensions, the chances are fair that Internet governance has come to the point of no return which calls on academia to contribute its share in shaping the ecosystem.
