This two-phased summit placed an unprecedented global spotlight on information and communication issues. At the same time, the WSIS represented a grand experiment in global governance: the active participation of non-governmental stakeholders in the development of public policies at the international level.\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eDigital Solidarities, Communication Policy and Multi-stakeholder Global Governance\u003c\/i\u003e examines the actors, structures and themes that shaped the WSIS with a particular focus on the role played by civil society. The book investigates how civil society self-organization has continued post-WSIS through the Internet Governance Forum (IGF) and other policymaking venues, and reflects on what the WSIS experience reveals about the challenges and opportunities embedded in the notion of multi-stakeholder governance and its implications for understanding global communication.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peter Lang Us","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46870194454679,"sku":"9781433107405","price":7499.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781433107405.webp?v=1769996092","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/digital-solidarities-communication-policy-and-multi-stakeholder-global-governance-the-legacy-of-the-world-summit-on-the-information-society-9781433107405","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
