<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black">This paper draws on international relations theory to argue that the emergence of contention in Internet governance entails a twofold shift in the nature of the
problems posed by Internet governance: first, cooperation problems have emerged where few previously existed; and second, existing coordination problems have become increasingly difficult to manage as a result of a rapidly increasing number of players and
heightened distributional consequences. The paper provides four complementary explanations for the shift in the underlying problem structure: extrinsic uncertainty, changing market conditions, declining US dominance in the Internet governance system and social
processes of institutional change and regime complex formation.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
