E Govt - Presentation
The document discusses the role of e-government in devolved government in Kenya. It defines e-government as using information technologies to transform government operations to improve effectiveness, efficiency, and service delivery. The government has several ICT initiatives, including connecting counties through a fiber optic network, to facilitate information access, economic development, and fulfill constitutional requirements of access to public information.
Citizen Technology & Open Government
This document discusses the evolution of citizen technology and open government. It outlines how goals include promoting efficient, open, and accountable government as well as strengthening democratic institutions and citizen engagement. It describes how social media has democratized information sharing and allowed citizens to organize and influence power dynamics. Examples like the Arab Spring show how social media helped spread ideas. The document also discusses tools for political process monitoring, election oversight, and participatory budgeting. It argues that open government data becomes better through public input and that citizen technologies ensure a vibrant online and offline public sphere by allowing governments to communicate widely and reduce costs. Recommendations include structuring government documents with semantic markup, providing multiple access forms, using single-point portals and cloud

Artificial intelligence governance in the Obama & Trump years
This document discusses U.S. governance approaches to artificial intelligence (AI) during the Obama and Trump administrations. Both administrations adopted a light-touch regulatory stance and emphasized public-private partnerships to support AI innovation. While their overall visions were similar, the Trump administration placed more emphasis on removing regulatory barriers and focused federal funding on specific technologies like AI and quantum computing. However, the future of AI governance is uncertain as other countries and regions pursue more aggressive industrial policies and regulation could expand in the U.S. as well.

This document summarizes trends in internet governance over the past 20 years. It explores how internet governance has become (1) more democratic through increased global connectivity and participation, though some governments still seek to assert cyber-sovereignty; (2) decisions are increasingly made through multistakeholder processes but this model has not been universally adopted; and (3) security concerns have grown but government responses risk conflict and unintended consequences like BGP hijacking. The document argues these trends both present opportunities and challenges for the future governance of the internet.
Internet governance: today, yesterday and tomorrow
This document provides an overview of internet governance over the past 20 years and outlines a vision for the next 5 years. It discusses key events from the last 2 months, including conferences in Wuzhen and Paris where issues around hate speech, censorship and regulation were debated. The past 20 years saw the establishment of forums like the World Summit on the Information Society and Internet Governance Forum to develop multilateral and transparent governance. Going forward, the document argues governance should ensure open access for all through both multilateral and multistakeholder cooperation.

CivicTech and OpenData for Anticorruption AppClub, Kiev Dec 2015
This document discusses how civic technology and open data can be used for anti-corruption efforts. It notes that civic technology combines technology and civic engagement to improve public life. Open data from freedom of information requests can be crowdsourced and analyzed using data scraping, cleaning, and visualization tools to monitor systems and hold officials accountable. Engaging the public in advocacy through tools like infographics, apps, and software can help enable sustainable change. The goal is to increase transparency and accountability through public participation and engagement.
Internet Governance Backround
The document discusses internet governance and the origins of the Internet Governance Forum. It describes internet governance as a complex issue like describing an elephant where different stakeholders can describe different parts. The document also notes the importance of inclusive, multistakeholder internet governance that addresses issues like equitable access, security, and development.

Internet Freedom 2.1
The Internet has become closely associated with freedom of expression and the global economy. Today, it plays a direct or indirect role in almost every aspect of life. Yet many fear the Internet as we have come to know it is at risk, with restrictions forcing fragmentation along political, corporate, or cultural lines. Despite growing concerns about the future of the Internet, discussion surrounding online freedom remains largely mired in a handful of issues: the necessity and appropriateness of government surveillance in the United States, digital privacy in Europe, and censorship in authoritarian states such as China. However, between them, the United States, Europe, and China account for less than half of the world’s Internet users. For much of the rest of the world, any discussion of Internet freedom falls at the complex intersection of political and social liberties, nation-building, security threats, economic development, and resource constraints.
Asia’s biggest developing democracies - India, Indonesia, Bangladesh, the Philippines, and Thailand - account for a quarter of the world’s people, but only about one-tenth of the global online population. The policy decisions these states make going forward will be of considerable importance for the future of the Internet and offer some useful lessons about the limitations and vulnerabilities of the global Internet freedom agenda as it is currently being pursued by the United States and Europe.
From a survey of these countries’ experiences, six broad conclusions or principles can be drawn. First, the online world is an outgrowth of the offline world, rather than a distinct phenomenon. Internet policy cannot be considered in a vacuum, or divorced from other relevant aspects of public policy, such as security, economic policy, or governance. Second, laws, norms, and cultural attitudes related to Internet use vary widely, even among democracies. A one-size-fits-all approach to Internet freedom will not work and may even prove counterproductive. Third, online freedoms and greater security are not inherently at odds with one another in open societies. Discourse that presents a false choice between security and freedom is harmful for both, as well as for state legitimacy and economic growth.
Fourth, while much discussion of Internet freedom frames the issue as a conflict between governments, corporations, and civil society, each sector is divided on the merits of unfettered Internet freedom. Fifth, current legislation pertaining to the Internet in many democratic countries is deeply flawed, even in the context of their own constitutional rights pertaining to freedom of expression. By and large, Internet-related legislation is vague, making implementation arbitrary, and undermining public trust in state institutions. And sixth, users are often not adequately informed of the privileges and restrictions associated with Internet use in their native countries. Policies and initiat

This document summarizes a presentation about governments working towards a global single market and understanding digital boundaries. It discusses the need to authenticate and protect citizen identity and data across borders while providing services. Barriers to cooperation between US state and local governments are outlined. Changes like increased technology adoption, mobility, and security threats require new approaches to identity management, information sharing, and mobile government services. Establishing consistent standards and strengthening cooperation between states and countries is key to addressing these challenges.

The document discusses (1) the foundations of democracy, (2) the connections between democracy and the free enterprise system, and (3) how the Internet has affected democracy. The foundations of democracy include recognizing the worth of individuals, equality, majority rule with minority rights, compromise, and individual freedom. A free enterprise system has private or corporate capital ownership and market-driven decisions. While the Internet theoretically makes democratic participation easier, not all online information is true and its long-term effects are still unknown.
Jillian C. York
The document discusses issues around mass surveillance and efforts to end it. It notes that technology companies like FinFisher and ISS World sell surveillance tools to governments without considering how they may be used, only focusing on profits. It then outlines steps to end mass surveillance, including technology solutions, policy/legal reforms, and shifting social attitudes. Finally, it quotes Edward Snowden on how mass surveillance limits human freedoms and notes that while reform will be difficult, protecting civil liberties is important.

The document discusses India's potential for electronic democracy (e-democracy) through citizen engagement using social media and mobile technology. It outlines the VOTERS framework for e-democracy, which stands for verifiable, open, transparent, empathetic, responsive, and sensitive. Recent anti-corruption protests in India engaged millions of citizens online and off to demand reforms. If implemented, the VOTERS framework could help the government become more transparent, responsive to citizens, and accountable through open consultation and access to information online.

Towela_Trans boundary issues in cybersecurity
This document discusses cybersecurity issues in Africa and outlines the African Union's Convention on Cybersecurity and Personal Data Protection. It notes increasing internet usage but low consumer awareness of cybersecurity risks. While the internet enables human rights like freedom of expression, activities like mass surveillance and cybercrime threaten privacy and security. The AU Convention aims to create a secure digital environment by harmonizing legislation, protecting personal data, promoting cybersecurity, and combating cybercrime. Implementation will require awareness campaigns, capacity building, enabling frameworks through legislation and response centers to ensure international cybersecurity norms are applied across Africa.
Wild West or gulag: models for policing cyberspace
The document discusses two models for policing cyberspace: the "Wild West model" and the "gulag model". The Wild West model treats the internet as an open frontier with freedom of speech and resistance to censorship, while the gulag model involves mass surveillance and restrictions of privacy and speech similar to totalitarian regimes. The document argues that the Wild West model is still more appropriate as total surveillance is ineffective against terrorism and erodes civil liberties, while privacy and free speech become more important in the digital age. Technological solutions alone cannot counter terrorism and censorship cannot remove propaganda from the internet.
Internet
This document discusses internet governance, policy, and law. It provides an overview of how these topics are addressed internationally and in Pakistan specifically. It describes cyberspace as chaotic with no clear international regulations. It then discusses recent large cyber attacks and key international organizations that influence internet standards and governance. The document defines internet governance and examines international efforts to regulate cyberspace as well as examples of country-level cyber policies, concluding with the current state of cyber affairs in Pakistan.

Cybersecurity
This document discusses cybersecurity as an economic issue in internet governance. It begins by introducing cybersecurity as a major concern for governments, users, and businesses due to increasing cyber threats, attacks, and financial losses. It then outlines types of cybersecurity issues like data interception, hacking, and identifies individuals, companies, governments, and the military as targets. Specific cybersecurity stats for Canada are provided that show high internet and computer usage as well as impacts of cyber attacks on businesses. The challenges of securing networks and data to support innovation and the digital economy are discussed. Metrics on the scale and global costs of consumer cybercrime are reviewed from a Norton cybersecurity report. The document concludes with resources for continuing cybersecurity learning.

The document discusses the most pressing problems and long term challenges of climate change and energy. It argues that climate change negotiations have been presented as a burden, but should instead focus on the opportunities for investment, technology, and economic growth in clean energy. Specifically, it calls for replacing subsidies for fossil fuels with incentives for clean technologies through a technology-neutral carbon price. It also advocates a parallel bottom-up approach of building a community of countries willing to take action, in addition to top-down UN negotiations that have yet to reach agreement.

The document discusses the insufficient governance of global markets and proposes a World Market Charter to address these issues. It analyzes the limited scope, lack of authority and transparency, and how nation-states have been undermined. The proposal suggests establishing an Assembly, Council, and judicial system along with expanding the role of existing institutions to create transparent processes for gathering evidence, scrutinizing proposals, passing legislation, implementing actions, and enforcing them globally.

Cst group project#2, intro++
The document discusses issues around internet censorship including the controversies surrounding censorship and differing views on whether restricting certain materials benefits society or limits freedom of expression. It also outlines the mission of the Global Network Initiative to respect freedom of expression and privacy through frameworks to ensure accountability of internet and communication technology companies. The debate around internet censorship and what role, if any, governments should play in regulating online content remains ongoing.
Internet rights.pdf
Internet rights are the rights that individuals have using the Internet.
They are an extension of human rights in the online world.
These rights include freedom of expression, privacy, access to information, and non-discrimination.
Corso pisa-7 dh-2017
The document summarizes key points from a proposed "Declaration of Internet Rights" by an Italian parliamentary commission. It discusses three main rights: net neutrality, which guarantees equal treatment of all data transmitted over the internet; platform interoperability, which guarantees users' ability to access their data across platforms; and digital impact assessments, which evaluate new internet regulations' effects. The document emphasizes designing "civic media" that bring people together to collaborate, not just connecting people who already agree. It argues internet governance needs rules respecting its universal nature while balancing economic and innovation concerns.
The Rise of Internet Freedom Activism

e-G8 Summary
The e-G8 forum in Paris brought together Internet stakeholders to discuss issues like Internet regulation, intellectual property, and economic growth with the goal of presenting conclusions to the G8 summit. Key topics included balancing Internet openness with responsibilities, how the Internet contributes to jobs and innovation, and ensuring access for all citizens. While some governments saw a need for more regulation, many participants emphasized upholding principles of free expression, privacy, and net neutrality. The e-G8 delegation to the G8 emphasized the Internet as a driver of economic and social progress best served by proactive policies but not arbitrary restrictions. The G8 response acknowledged the importance of Internet openness, transparency, and freedom.
Political hacktivism
Political hacktivism involves using computer hacking for political activism and protest. It emerged as a way for grassroots political groups to have their voices heard. Hacktivists believe the public has a right to information about what political leaders actually stand for and what wrongs the government has committed. Examples of hacktivism include creating protest websites, cyber squatting on domain names, defacing websites, denial of service attacks, and site redirection. While hacktivism has the potential to promote positive social change, some of its illegal actions may restrict freedom and overstep ethical boundaries. For hacktivism to have bigger impacts, it is most effective when combined with on-the-ground political activism and protest.
ICTs as infrastructure- Explorations through a gendered prism - Anita Gurumurthy
This document discusses information and communication technologies (ICTs) from a gender perspective. It argues that ICT infrastructure is not just a tool but a structural element of the global political economy and basis for production and communication. However, digital networks primarily benefit developed economies and the private sector commodifies user data and drives innovation through pornography. While mobile technologies are touted as benefiting women, they do not replace the need for universal public access and infrastructure. True empowerment requires recognizing access to ICTs as a basic capability and human right that can promote social justice when approached with a gender agenda focusing on public access, ownership and literacy.
Mercosur.en
This letter from Latin American civil society organizations expresses support for discussions among MERCOSUR member states regarding mass surveillance practices. It notes concerns about systematic monitoring of communications without oversight or accountability. The letter calls for a transparent, participatory process to regulate the internet in a way that ensures freedom of expression, universal access, an open network structure, privacy protections, and free flow of information. It urges MERCOSUR governments to establish forums for dialogue with civil society and experts to make decisions about internet policy and regulation that preserve these principles while also studying national security systems to ensure compliance with international human rights standards.
Digital Sovereigns or Consent of the Networked
In this class, we looked at the reality of Chinese and Russian internet usage, where authoritarian governments have so far succeeded in boxing in the disruptive effects of networked mass communication.

The document outlines five principles for the use of technology in the justice system:
1. Openness and Privacy - Technology should be open to the public while protecting personal privacy.
2. Just Results - The overriding objective is a just result through a just process by impartial decision makers.
3. Access to Justice - Technology should promote access to justice for all people.
4. Maximizing Awareness and Use - The justice system should promote public knowledge and use of technology to access justice.
5. Partnership - The document lists organizations that are partners working to implement these principles.
Annual_report_2014
ARTICLE 19 trained over 2,000 activists, journalists, and public officials around the world in 2014 on issues related to freedom of expression and information. Key areas of training included physical and digital security, freedom of expression laws, media regulation, the right to information, and working in risky environments. Trainings were conducted in multiple countries and regions, focusing on local and national challenges to civic participation, access to information, and protection for those defending human rights.
E era ir-us-fp
The document discusses how the proliferation of digital technologies and the internet has contributed to the emergence of a nonpolar international system characterized by numerous centers of power beyond just states. It notes how globalization and new communication forms have empowered non-state actors and weakened states. The US still maintains military dominance but has lost economic dominance. The document also provides examples of how social movements and political campaigns have leveraged digital tools and social media to organize and spread information.
6.bocconi rights
This document summarizes key points from an Italian legislative commission studying a proposed "Bill of Rights for the Internet". It discusses how human rights must adapt to the digital sphere, with concepts like net neutrality, platform interoperability, and digital impact assessments. Specific rights addressed include the right to one's online identity, rights and safeguards for people using platforms, and criteria for internet governance that respects its open and democratic nature. The document advocates designing "civic media" to help people connect not just with those they like, but also those needed to work together on issues.

The document discusses e-participation and open data. It defines e-participation as using information and communication technologies to enable and strengthen citizen participation in democratic decision-making processes. Some benefits of e-participation include increasing government transparency, enhancing citizen involvement, and improving quality of public opinion. Open data sits at the heart of a global movement facilitated by technology and social media that can create more accountable and effective governments. While governments collect large amounts of data, they do not always share it in accessible, usable ways. The document lists some examples of technologies and tools that enable e-participation, as well as some criticisms such as the digital divide limiting participation.
Digital Media Activism by S
Internet activism uses communication technologies like websites and email to enable faster communication between citizen movements and deliver messages to large audiences. It aims to promote issues like human rights, environmentalism, and marginalized communities. The internet is a key resource for independent activists, especially for reporting human rights violations from repressive countries. Internet activism is used for fundraising, lobbying, community building, and organizing both online and offline activities. While effective and reproducible, it also faces challenges like connecting the online and offline worlds and issues of elitism. Examples include activism on social media that helped organize protests in Egypt and Tunisia.

Urban Topic- Cycpercities and china's censorship
The document summarizes China's censorship of the internet and how it affects social activism and democracy in the country. It discusses how social activists now use modern technologies like social media to organize and spread information faster. While this has helped activism, it has also complicated matters for China, which is not a democracy and strictly censors the internet. The censorship aims to prevent foreign democratic ideas from inspiring calls for political change among Chinese citizens. As internet use grew in China, so did government restrictions on content and service providers to maintain control over the flow of information and activism online.

Cross-border cooperation in the electricity sector - the Nordic example
The document discusses cross-border cooperation in the electricity sector through the Nordic example. It outlines the history of interconnections between Nordic countries dating back to 1963, which grew over time through the establishment of Nordel in 1992 to facilitate cooperation between transmission system operators. Nordel later joined ENTSO-E and helped coordinate the decarbonization of the power sector in the region through increasing renewable energy and electrification while maintaining a reliable grid through 2050. The context of cooperation has become more complex over time with new drivers like emissions pricing and public demand, as well as obstacles around political will, governance capacity, and handling interdependencies across borders.

Combating the Debt Addiction
This document discusses the role of private debt and credit growth in economic stability. It argues that pre-crisis orthodoxy viewed low inflation as sufficient for stability, but private debt growth fueled asset price booms and recessions. Credit growth for real estate and existing assets does not directly stimulate GDP but can inflate prices. To promote stability, policy should constrain private leverage growth and the dominance of real estate lending through higher bank capital requirements and countercyclical policies.
Combating the Debt Addiction
Ulf Dahlsten gave a presentation at the Stockholm School of Economics on March 22nd, 2014 about combating debt addiction and stabilizing the financial system. He argued that more needs to be done as the system has issues like extreme pro-cyclicality, underestimating endogenous risks, excessive money creation, growing private debts, asset inflation, and complexity. He focused on these problems and asked questions about addressing excessive money creation, the danger of private debt buildup, curbing asset inflation without hurting the economy, and what central banks, regulators, and politicians can do to help.

Trust in a green economy
The document defines a green economy as one that is low-carbon, resource-efficient, and socially inclusive according to the UNEP. It also includes a diagram showing the interdependencies between different levels of trust, politics, markets, resources, and social relations that are necessary for a sustainable green economy. Weaknesses in any of these areas can undermine the transition to a green economy.
Research questions for a green, inclusive economy
This document summarizes a presentation on research questions for a green, inclusive economy. The presentation covered three main topics:
1. Metrics - It discussed developing alternative metrics to GDP like national wealth accounts and a prosperity metric based on solving human problems.
2. Vision - It addressed the need for systems thinking and considering renewable vs. exhaustible natural resources.
3. Transition - Key research questions were presented around the politics and innovation required for an economic transition, including governance mechanisms, necessary institutions, and business models within planetary boundaries.
The presentation concluded by noting the career prospects for economists to work on these important transition questions and called for mutual understanding between disciplines.
A critical review and considerations: Green economy, what is it?
This document provides a summary and critique of a proposal to build models for a sustainable Germany by 2040. It notes that the proposal makes some good points but its economic understanding is still simplistic and it is insufficient in design and scope. The summary recommends using systems analysis throughout, integrated assessment modeling to analyze past data and scenarios, and involving experienced systems analysts. It concludes that the proposal has some blind spots and needs to better connect the whole system, address issues like population and trade, and engage policy/government to enable real paradigm shifts.
Doughnut Economics
This document discusses the need to rethink economics education in light of current economic, environmental, and social crises. It references students walking out of an economics class at Harvard to protest the field's inherent biases. It also notes students' thirst for new ways of thinking about the economy that better fit the world they are living in. The document advocates that the current economic syllabus needs updating since the world has changed. It introduces concepts like scale, speed, networks, thresholds, and feedbacks that need to be incorporated into a revised understanding of economics. It questions how humanity's ability to affect life support systems through tipping points should change our definition of progress.

- 2. What is Access? Access is a global movement for digital freedom. Access’ mission is to ensure open global internet access and an uncensored and secure digital sphere. Access seeks to use action, policy and technology to achieve real change -- particularly for those living on the other side of the firewall. Members in 180 countries.
- 3. The Context Recent events sweeping the Middle East – in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya and beyond – reaffirm the need for an open, secure internet that supports all members of society.
- 5. Transparency “The way to make government responsible is to hold it accountable. And the way to make government accountable is make it transparent so that the American people can know exactly what decisions are being made, how they’re being made, and whether their interests are being well served.” Barack Obama, 44th President of the United States “To radically shift regime behavior we must think clearly and boldly for if we have learned anything, it is that regimes do not want to be changed. We must think beyond those who have gone before us, and discover technological changes that embolden us with ways to act in which our forebears could not.” Julian Assange, 2006
