Global Internet Governance: An Interdisciplinary Research Field in
Construction
A GigaNet workshop, organized in cooperation with GDR TICS and DEL

University Paris III Sorbonne Nouvelle – Institut du Monde Anglophone

Invitation to participate

The Global Internet Governance Academic Network (GigaNet) will hold
its first workshop on "Global Internet Governance: An
Interdisciplinary Field in Construction", in Paris, France, on Monday
23 June 2003, 08:30-13:30. French co-organizers and sponsors are: GDR-
CNRS TICS, DEL-CNRS network, Sciences Po, U. Paris 3 Sorbonne
Nouvelle, U. Pierre et Marie Curie, and LIP6 Laboratory.

The purpose of the workshop, the first of its sort, is to allow
scholars involved in Internet Governance-related research to describe
their ongoing research projects to other scholars in the field, in
order to share ideas, forge possible collaborations, and identify
emerging research themes in the field. Scholars from various academic
disciplines and all regions of the world are expected to contribute
to this reflexive exercise, with the long-term objective of
collectively building this interdisciplinary research field.

Rather than featuring academic paper presentations, the workshop aims
at providing a survey of current academic activities in the field of
global Internet governance. The workshop is mainly organized around 3
roundtables, fostering lively and fruitful discussions. Panelists
selected among the authors of submitted contributions will discuss
global Internet governance research activities dealing with: models,
players and democratic principles; regulation policies and regulatory
issues; and regional perspectives and sociocultural issues.

Attendance at the workshop is free and open to all interested
parties, but registration is required.

Workshop agenda and detailed program, registration form, contribution
abstracts, as well as other practical information, are available at
