Review Quotes




With the advances in information communication technologies and the subsequent rise of the Internet, new avenues for research continue to open. Pavan (Univ. of Trento, Italy) opens a new avenue by analyzing specific structures of the Global Communication Governance (GCG) from both a systematic theoretical and empirical framework. GCG is defined as the sum of all political processes underpinning the management of information and communication matters from a supranational perspective. Based on sophisticated frames and network analyses and within the broader context of GCG, the study focuses on the development and consolidation of the global Internet Governance (IG) following the 2003-05 World Summit on the Information Society and pays close attention to the collaborative and dynamic roles played by institutional and noninstitutional actors. Relying on a bottom-up approach where the empirical investigation of these dynamic and collaborative relationships focuses on the emerging practices within IG, the study first discusses the structural and historical elements that gave rise to GCG and introduces the joint operational tools associated with the frames and network analyses. Subsequent chapters investigate the political structures and multiple groups as well as the social and semantic networks involved in shaping IG. Summing Up: Recommended.
