| Summary |
This book addresses the complex issue of global Internet governance by focusing on its implementation in Malaysia and Singapore. The authors draw insights, identify, revisit and flesh out the discourses circulating since the 1990s and pitch them against global Internet governance concerns. Readers of this book will understand how and why Malaysia and Singapore are important contributors to current concerns over Internet governance, provoked in part by China's advocacy of internet sovereignty, and the American and global responses. Readers will also appreciate how and why the regulation of the Internet has been and will remain a site of contestation and control |
