Internet Governance: Past, Present, and Future

Addressing vulnerability and promoting security
Dec 05, 2019 | Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung, Wade Hoxtell, David Nonhoff

The internet is now an indispensable aspect of modern life with a growing ecosystem of related services. Internet governance is the panoply of processes that determine how the internet is managed locally, nationally, regionally and globally. This study by Wade Hoxtell and David Nonhoff for the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung addresses two key threats to the free and open model of the internet: Challenges by Russia and China to the multistakeholder model of internet governance; and threats to the largely uninhibited information flows due to efforts to control and limit the types of information accessible to users. Two different outlooks for the Internet – a best and a worst case – are provided.
