This Advanced Introduction is an illuminating exploration of how one of the world’s most crucial technologies, the Internet, is governed and regulated at both global and national levels. Christopher S. Yoo and Alexander R. Mueller examine key governance activities, including technical standardization, management of Internet resources, and infrastructure security, as well as attempts by national governments to regulate Internet infrastructure within their borders. They also highlight the tensions between the Internet’s model of decentralized, stakeholder-based cooperation and traditional state authority.
