CALL FOR PAPERS****

** **

8th Annual Symposium****

21 October 2013****

Bali, Indonesia****

** **

Deadline for abstract submission: July 1 2013****

** **

** **

The Global Internet Governance Academic Network (GigaNet) is seeking
research submissions about Internet Governance to be presented at its
Eighth Annual Symposium, held on 21 October 2013, one day before the United
Nations Internet Governance Forum (IGF) in Bali, Indonesia. ****

** **

GigaNet is a scholarly community that promotes the development of Internet
Governance as a recognized, interdisciplinary field of study and
facilitates informed dialogue on policy issues and related matters between
scholars and governments, international organizations, the private sector
and civil society. http://giga-net.org/****

** **

Since 2006, GigaNet has organized an Annual Symposium to showcase research
about Internet Governance, bringing together researchers from a wide range
of disciplines and fields. As in previous years, the symposium will provide
room to discuss current and future questions as well as the challenges
encountered and results achieved in global Internet governance.****

** **

Conference themes ****

** **

GigaNet is interested in receiving abstracts related to Internet Governance
themes, especially those containing innovative approaches and/or emerging
research areas. This year, we are especially encouraging submissions on two
interwoven themes:  ** **

** **

•        Cybersecurity, cybersurveillance, cyberespionage and cyberwarfare
and****

•        State and non-state actor efforts to control the Internet ****

** **

The program committee welcomes proposals on any other topics related to
global Internet governance. ****

** **

This year, one panel will be especially devoted to emerging scholars in the
field. We define emerging scholars as doctoral students working on an
approved proposal through scholars who have received their PhD within the
past three years. ****

** **

Accepted papers from senior scholars will be presented and discussed in a
roundtable format involving business, government and technical community
representatives, while emerging scholars will present their work in a more
traditional academic panel. In both cases, presenters should expect to have
conversations about their work with people from a wide range of stakeholder
groups.****

Interested scholars should submit abstracts of their research paper at the
Easy Chair platform: ****
