Dear colleagues,

As the deadline for abstracts submission is approaching, please find
hereafter the updated CFP for the GIG-ARTS 2019 conference: after Paris in
2017 and Cardiff in 2018, we hope to welcome you in Salerno in 2019 to

==========
*GIG-ARTS 2019 – The Third European Multidisciplinary Conference on Global
Internet Governance Actors, Regulations, Transactions and Strategies*


*16-17 May 2019, SalernoEurope as a Global Player in Internet Governance*

*Organised by:*The Internet & Communication Policy Centre / Department of
Political, Social and Communication Sciences / Università degli Studi di
Salerno


*Co-Sponsored By:*The Centre for European Policy Studies (CEPS), The ECPR
Standing Group on Internet and Politics, The Global Internet Governance
Academic Network (GigaNet), the IAMCR Communication Policy and Technology
Section, The ICA Communication Law and Policy Division.

*Call for Abstracts - Deadline: 29 October 2018*
Although to varying degrees of autonomy, awareness, and effectiveness over
time and issues, European institutions have been engaged in internet
governance and policy-making since at least two decades. Both the European
Union and Europe as a region have generally played a crucial role in
shaping the governance of the internet, at the global, regional and
national levels.

>From a geopolitical perspective, the EU has been one of the early actors
advocating for the internationalisation of the DNS system and, more
generally, for the enhancement of the multi-stakeholder governance model.
>From a normative point of view, EU institutions as well as Member States
have deeply affected highly sensitive internet-related issues, such as
privacy and data protection, digital market competition, consumers' rights,
copyright, e-commerce, content regulation, the right to be forgotten, etc.
On the institutional level, some of the most interesting cases of recent
constituent policies have emerged from the European Union, leading to the
establishment of new agencies such as the European Network and Information
Security Agency (ENISA) and the European Data Protection Board (EDPB).
Beyond the EU, some European intergovernmental organisations, such as the
Council of Europe (CoE), have developed structured initiatives to uphold
human rights, democracy and the rule of law on internet governance issues.
Further, a number of European initiatives, such as the European Dialogue on
internet Governance (EuroDIG) and the Global internet Policy Observatory
(GIPO), have facilitated the transfer of ideas, knowledge, policies and
institutional arrangements towards other countries and geographic areas.
Finally, European NGOs as well as some European internet companies
are currently advancing alternative visions and values about the internet
and its governance, enriching the set of internet governance approaches as
well as available design options.

The third edition of the European Multidisciplinary Conference on Global
Internet Governance Actors, Regulations, Transactions and Strategies
(GIG-ARTS 2019), will be held exactly twenty years after the entry
into force of the Amsterdam Treaty and ten years after the Lisbon Treaty,
which are milestones in the history of the European integration process,
preparing the EU for enlargement and further deepening of competences,
and reinforcing the centrality of democratic principles and the protection
of fundamental rights as the Union's foundation.

After having addressed “Global Internet Governance as a Diplomacy Issue” at
its first edition held in Paris in 2017, and "Inequalities in
Internet Governance" at the second edition held in Cardiff in 2018, the
2019 GIG-ARTS conference will explore the role of Europe in the global
governance of the internet. In particular, the conference will focus on
challenges and opportunities, as well as strengths and weaknesses, of
European approaches to internet governance and policy-making.

In addition to general internet Governance issues and topics, submissions
are particularly welcome on the following themes:

-       European institutions and Member States in internet governance;
-       The European approach to the multistakeholder governance model;
-       The role of the European External Action Service in the Global
