Scholars from a range of disciplines discuss research methods, theories, and conceptual approaches in the study of internet governance.

Scholars from a range of disciplines discuss research methods, theories, and conceptual approaches in the study of internet governance.

The design and governance of the internet has become one of the most pressing geopolitical issues of our era. The stability of the economy, democracy, and the public sphere are wholly dependent on the stability and security of the internet. Revelations about election hacking, facial recognition technology, and government surveillance have gotten the public's attention and made clear the need for scholarly research that examines internet governance both empirically and conceptually. In this volume, scholars from a range of disciplines consider research methods, theories, and conceptual approaches in the study of internet governance.
