Internet Governance

Internet technologies have fundamentally questioned the notion of governance, not only at the level of administration but also at the level of mechanisms of control, regulation and shaping of the individual. e-Governance initiatives, in combination with other regimes of surveillance, control and censorship, are redefining what it means to be a citizen, a subject, and an individual. We look at questions of governance - at the micro level of the individual and the private (family, relationships, community structures, etc.) as well as the level of Governmentality - at the macro level of nation state, citizenship, market economies, and the public (spaces of consumption, work, leisure, political engagement etc.) under the umbrella of Digital Governance.
