[New] The 5th edition of the book has just been published. Read more.
Although Internet governance deals with the core of the digital world, governance cannot be handled with the digital-binary logic of the true or false, or good or bad. Instead, the subject demands many subtleties and shades of meaning and perception, requiring an analogue approach, covering a continuum of options and compromises. The aim of this book, now in its fifth edition, is to provide a comprehensive overview of the main issues and actors in the field through a practical framework for analysis, discussion, and resolution of significant issues.
Translated versions of the book Internet governance: Issues, Actors and Divides (an earlier version of An Introduction to Internet Governance) are available in French, Spanish, Arabic, Russian, Chinese, and Portuguese, whereas a translated version of the fourth edition of An Introduction to Internet Governance is available in Serbian/BCS, French, and Armenian.

Corporate governance is taking it too far on many occasions, the Interet is the last bastion of freedom and unfettered thought sharing and interactivity. Lets hope the government stays out and lets free markets rule the Internet space into perpituity.
Will there be an undated version of this book? I've searched and the latest I've found is 2010..?

Dear Participants,
Internet governance is not well understood by many users in Kenya.They keep asking me what is internet governanace and what use does it have to the consumers?
The same issue is not also understood even by many goverment officials in Kenya who live in an environement with all the facilities.
I think that this training on Introduction to Internet Governance which is beginning next week on the 11th is really needed and l would request the outhorities to permit participants from less developed countries to learn more about this subject.
