In summer 2020, Germany will present to the United Nations suggestions for the reform of the global cooperation infrastructure. At the core of this process rest the questions: Who will decide on the rules and development of the Internet? Will it be states? States in cooperation with the private sector and civil society? Given the political, societal, and economic importance of the Internet, this reform will be a crucial turning point coming to define the future of global communication and cooperation. Germany’s contribution to this process alongside the role of the countries of the Global South will be essential for a people-oriented and sustainable digitalisation.
This GIGA Forum, organised in cooperation with the Leibniz-Institute for Media Research, Hans-Bredow-Institut (HBI), analyses the reform process, reveals potential pitfalls, and sheds light on the prospects of reformed global regulation of the Internet.

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
