Subject: GCIG Paper No. 17 now online: The Emergence of Contention in
Global Internet Governance
To: RAN Members <ran at ourinternet.org>


 Dear RAN Members,



Today the GCIG secretariat issued working paper No. 17 by Samantha
Bradshaw, Laura DeNardis, Fen Osler Hampson, Eric Jardine and Mark
Raymond. *The
Emergence of Contention in Global Internet Governance* can be downloaded
and read by visiting:
https://ourinternet.org/publication/the-emergence-of-contention-in-global-internet-governance/
.



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.



It would be greatly appreciated if you shared the link to this new research
paper with your colleagues via your social networks. For those of you on
Twitter, we have simplified the sharing process by drafting the following
