Kan het internet de hedendaagse mondiale spanningen weerstaan? Of is het juist gebouwd om de verschillen te accomoderen? In deze derde editie van de reeks The New Geopolitics of Technology geven Daniel Lambach, Francesca Musiani en Fernanda Rosa hun visie op de politiek van wereldwijde connectie, de beperkingen, de toekomst en de negatieve kanten ervan. Met commentaar door een van de grondleggers van internet governance, Milton Mueller.
The possible establishment of a sovereign internet in Russia, European initiatives on 'Digital Sovereignty', and the conflict between China and the United States over Huawei equipment are rekindling the discussion on splinternets and the limits to global interconnectivity.
Can the internet, the original network of networks, resist the contemporary strain, or was it built to accommodate these differences? In this talk three expert scholars on this topic, Daniel Lambach, Francesca Musiani and Fernanda Rosa, will give their views on the politics of global connection, its limitations, its future, and its discontent. Their talks will be discussed by one of the founders and prominent researchers of the fields of internet governance, Milton Mueller.
The New Geopolitics of Technology is an event series of the Duitsland Instituut Amsterdam, the Amsterdam Center for European Studies and the Stiftung Neue Verantwortung.
