Controlling the Internet has for a long time been the privilege of academics in the USA. However, with the evolution of the Internet as the world communication medium of the 21st century and the world-wide-web providing the infrastructure for business and public services in the digital era, the stakes have risen dramatically. The value of the Internet is nowadays considered extremely important in a number of key areas of public life ranging from business, law, local and central government to international politics. Various proposals as to who should be responsible for controlling or even policing the Internet have been considered and debated upon over the past few years. The issue has been raised at an unprecedented level with governments of the most powerful countries on the planet locked in serious and longstanding diplomatic negotiations as to which of the super powers should be in control. Yet the less powerful and smaller nations have repeatedly called for the establishment of an international organization to guarantee independent control of the Internet. This paper considers the above two proposals and attempts to answer the following questions: a) Do single countries deserve the right of having absolute control and acting as the sole guardian of the ultimate communication medium? b) Would an international organization be the answer? If so, how independent can it be and how much security can it offer to the smaller nations and the individual user? The study of each case is performed on the basis of what criteria would apply in terms of legal framework adopted, transparency of procedures and degree of acceptance of the controlling body on a world wide basis. The ultimate question raised is: can the guardian be trusted and if so how widespread this trust would be? The results of the first internet governance forum meeting in Athens in 2006 and the aims of the second due in Rio de Janeiro in November 2007 are also discussed.

AbstractDuring a chaotic time for most in which our virtual world, made possible through the internet and its affordances, Policy & Internet sought the voices of scholars, practitioners, policymakers, and higher degree researchers to rethink our internet, its policy and the surrounding communication technology within our contemporary society. One emerging and overarching theme became apparent as our network of global scholars provided their insights into the academic puzzle and broader societal impact surrounding the future of the internet. That is, an ambiguity. More specifically, ambiguity as the core consideration that acts as a critical and connective glue for which we can approach the research of the internet for the coming three to five years, and a way to connect universal elements which underpin our scholarship all at once.
This book explores how the Internet presents radical ways of organising and producing media that offer political and cultural alternatives, both to ways of doing business and to how we understand the world and our place in it. The book is characterised by in-depth case studies. Topics include the media of new social movements and other radical political organisations (including the far right); websites produced by fans of popular culture; and media dedicated to developing a critical, 'public' journalism. It locates these studies in appropriate theoretical and historical contexts, while remaining accessible to a student audience. Major themes: *The use of the Internet by political groups such as the anti-capitalist and environmental movements, as well as the far right *Radical forms of creativity and distribution: the anti-copyright and sampling/file-sharing movements, and their role as cultural critics in a corporate world *The development and maintenance of a global, 'digital public sphere' of protest through such practices as 'hacktivism' *The use of new media technologies to transform existing media forms and practices, such as news media and Internet radio. This is the first book devoted entirely to 'alternative' ways of political organisation and cultural production on the Internet. The author is one of the leading international experts in the study of alternative media, and this book is an authoritative guide to all aspects of these phenomena: the cultural, the political, the economic and the social. The range of topics covered will make it an attractive text for a wide range of media and cultural studies and computing courses

Examines the increased use of the Internet by Chinese "netizens" to enact a sort of vigilante justice & register political dissent. Besides empowering civil society, it is suggested that the state is improving governance by using these Internet sources to take action against corrupt officials exposed online. K. Hyatt Stewart

The debate about the 'electronic democracy' has so far focused predominant on technical potentials on the one hand and citizens? exposure to interactive political communication channels on the other. In contrast, the 'supply side', i.e. the internet activities of political actors and especially their motives, has relatively rarely been investigated. Against this backdrop we have conducted a representative survey among Austrian national and regional MPs which investigate their attitudes toward the internet. Our results demonstrate that a majority of the delegates have already become Internet-literate. Yet, we find an age-related 'digital divide' crossing parliamentarian RCWS on the national and regional level. Adapted from the source document.

HauptbeschreibungDas Problemfeld "Schulgewalt und Bullying" stellt nach wie vor eine aktuelle und bedeutsame Problematik dar. Nach letzten Studien sind im Schnitt ca. 11% aller europaweit befragten Schüler und Schülerinnen von regelmäßigen Gewalterfahrungen betroffen. Noch größer sind die Zahlen hinsichtlich unregelmäßiger Übergriffe. Die körperlichen und psychischen Folgen für die Betroffenen können bis hin zu Depression oder Suizid reichen. Notwendiges Wissen zu Gegenmaßnahmen und Präventionsmöglichkeiten ist ausreichend vorhanden. Die vorhandene Fülle von Forschungsresultaten muß nunmehr den.
