Summary

This monograph will analyse internet governance as an emerging issue domain, tracing the actors, institutions, and policies involved in its evolution as a global political construct over 40 years.

Additional text

Radu outlines the two main positions on internet governance that have emerged since the 1990s. There is on one hand a hesitancy to develop 'new' regulations for the internet at the 'expense' of old ones, and on the other a need to develop 'hard law' to govern it. Today, states must confront this tension.
