St Antony’s College, University of Oxford, Oxford OX2 6JF.
Ten years since its emergence as a mainstream global medium, the Internet has interwoven with many contentious political issues, whilst also inspiring alternative visions on the nature of change and order in world politics. How political actors have been able to use the Internet to both control and liberate other agents and structures is not only one of the central enquires for researchers in the field, but also a critical question for students of international affairs. The study of the global political implications of the medium, however, remains in its infancy and there is much we do not understand. Questions of power and governance lie at the heart of many of these enquiries.
