*ABSTRACT*

This special issue makes an argument for, and illustrates, the
applicability of a science and technology studies (STS) informed approach
to internet governance research. The conceptual framework put forward in
this editorial and the articles composing this issue add to the mainstream
internet governance scholarship by unpacking macro questions of politics
and power. They do so through the analysis of the mundane and
taken-for-granted practices and discourses that constitute the design,
regulation, maintenance, and use of both technical and institutional
arrangements of internet governance. Together, this body of work calls to
rethink how we conceptualise both internet and governance.
