Internet Governance: Asia-Pacific perspectives [PDF 1.8MB] |
The Internet raises significant challenges for public policy and sustainable human development, both internationally and for individual nations. While the Asia-Pacific region contains the highest share of global Internet users, it is under-represented in the forums that develop Internet-related policies.
This book presents the work of the Open Regional Dialogue on Internet Governance, a year-long initiative by UNDP Asia-Pacific Development Information Programme that has collected perspectives from regional experts and end users. It summarizes the key debates in Internet Governance from those involved in international policy-making. It also provides detailed analysis of critical issues such as spam, wireless technologies, security, multilingualism, and cultural diversity in the Asia-Pacific.
The book contributes regional perspectives to important global processes, and will assist anyone involved in planning Internet-related development policies or projects.
