Mr Joao Araujo Monteiro Neto will be delivering a Research Seminar entitled 'Internet Governance Multistakeholderism: Between Normalisation and Generativity' on Friday 2 March at 12:15 in Room 414, MaKS Building, Faculty of Media and Knowledge Sciences.
Abstract
Multistakeholderism is one important element supporting different global governance initiatives. Despite underpinning successful practices in areas like corporate social responsibility and environmental protection, multistakeholderism became deeply associated to Internet governance and is considered one of its foundational characteristics. Notwithstanding the recent academic interest in multistakeholderism policy-making practices there is little research investigating how multistakeholderism operates in these governance structures and what are the effects of this operation in the produced regulations. Using a case study approach the present research investigates multistakeholderism operation in the Brazilian Internet governance system. It analyses multistakeholder and non-multistakeholder policy-making structures operating in Brazilian Internet governance in order to trace multistakeholderism operation and evaluate its effects in Internet policies and regulations.
