Mechanisms of governance

• Lessig identifies:

• • Law (international, domestic, transnational...?)
  • Norms (netiquette, Acceptable Use Policies)
  • Markets (interconnection agreements, ICANN contracts)
  • Architecture (open Internet technical standards, DRM)

• But consider more broadly:

• • Lessig's firewood example: seldom just one mechanism
  • Networks – partnerships of stakeholders (Rhodes 1996)
  • A regime made up of “sets of implicit or explicit principles, norms, rules, and decision-making procedures around which actors’ expectations converge in a given area of international relations” (Krasner 1982)
