The Turn to Infrastructure

American University Internet Governance Lab Professors Derrick Cogburn, Laura DeNardis, and Nanette Levinson explain why conflicts over governance of the Internet are attracting such widespread attention from policymakers and the general public. High-profile controversies such as the Apple encryption debate, Sony data breach, and Snowden's disclosures about NSA surveillance have attracted great scrutiny to the subject of how the Internet is operated and administered. These issues and more are covered in the new book, "The Turn to Infrastructure in Internet Governance," co-edited by Cogburn, DeNardis, Levinson and colleague Francesca Musiani, Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique France.
