Rick-
Great suggestions! I have one more forthcoming book to add for
Madeline's consideration. Laura Denardis' newest book is due out in
November, even though it will have a 2014 date. It is called The
Global War for Internet Governance (Yale Univ Press) and I think it
should be quite relevant. I just checked and they already have it on
Amazon, although it lists the 2014 date.
Hope this is useful and best,
Nanette

Hi Madeline -
Off the top of my head....
Milton Mueller's "Networks and States: The Global Politics of Internet
Governance" (2010, MIT Press) might have some useful nuggets in it.
I've only skimmed it (it was on my summer reading list, but due to
other work stuff, "summer reading" has turned into "winter reading"
*sigh*)
Jack Goldsmith & Tim Wu "Who Controls The Internet" (2006, OUP) also
might be helpful too. As I recall there was at least a chapter just on
China.
Hope that helps some.
