Announcing the Launch of the Internet Governance Project
We are pleased to announce the launch of the Internet Governance Project (IGP), a multi-university partnership to analyze global Internet policy issues. IGP's research agenda is closely related to the on-going United Nations' review of Internet Governance.
IGP's member institutions include two research centers at Syracuse University:
- The Convergence Center at the School of Information Studies
- The Moynihan Institute of Global Affairs at the Maxwell School
and one research center at the Georgia Institute of Technology:
As its first project IGP is providing the United Nations' Information and Communication Technologies Task Force (UN ICT TF) a detailed analysis of global policy regimes. The resulting study will provide a fact-based “map” of existing global rules for the Internet and the institutions that make those rules.
IGP's research team includes:
- MILTON MUELLER, Professor, Syracuse University School of Information Studies
- JOHN R. MATHIASON, Adjunct Professor, Syracuse University Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs
- HANS KLEIN, Assoc. Professor, Georgia Institute of Technology, School of Public Policy
- LEE MCKNIGHT, Assoc. Professor, Syracuse University School of Information Studies
- MARC HOLITSCHER, Lecturer, Institut für Politikwissenschaft der Universität Zürich
