Pawns to Partners (Qualitative)

Project Name: Pawns to Partners

Summary: These two projects explore the factors that limit and facilitate meaningful, effective, multi-stakeholder participation in global governance processes, especially for information and communications technologies. We are currently studying the U.N. World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) as illustrative of these processes. Particularly, we are interested in the role of transnational policy networks and epistemic communities in influencing global policy processes. This project is supported by American University and Syracuse University.

Project Purpose: Exploring the factors that limit and facilitate meaningful, effective, multi-stakeholder participation in global governance processes
