*Esther Brimmer*, former assistant secretary for international organization
affairs at the U.S. Department of State, will discuss ways in which new
technologies interact with global governance. Innovation and technological
change are hallmarks of modern life. Aviation and telecommunications enable
people and ideas to cross borders rapidly. Over the course of the last
century, governments and other stakeholders developed procedures to manage
the flow of these international contacts. Now innovations in aviation and
in the reach of the Internet expose gaps in two very different
long-standing international arrangements. This year policymakers and
shapers will make important choices in these areas. In the *2015 Shapiro
Lecture*, Professor Brimmer will highlight ways in which new technologies
stretch two global governance regimes and suggest steps to bridge the gaps.
The event will be webcast live on the *Internet Society Livestream
