Despite its wide reach and powerful global influence, the Internet is a medium uncontrolled by any one centralized system, organization, or governing body, a reality that has given rise to all manner of free-speech issues and cybersecurity concerns. In her book The Global War for Internet Governance, Internet governance scholar and American University professor, Laura DeNardis reveals the inner power structure of Internet governance on the international scene and explores the characteristics of Internet Governance that will ultimately determine Internet freedom.
Rebecca MacKinnon, author of Consent of the Networked and Senior Research Fellow at New America called The Global War for Internet Governance "required reading" for understanding Internet governance and power and Jonathan Zittrain, author of The Future of the Internet - And How To Stop It and professor of Internet Law at Harvard Law School praises it as "an invaluable resource for anyone wishing to understand the political intricacies behind Internet protocols and the diverse group of power players vying to influence them."
