LOCAL

April 29-30, 2005
Conference: "Command Lines: The Emergence of Governance in Global Cyberspace"
Hefter Conference Center, UW-Milwaukee
Full day
Free

The conference focuses on issues of governance in cyberspace. The transfer of many realms of social life to global cyberspace presents numerous challenges to formal governance through law, while increasing the relative importance of other forms of control. While governments struggle to develop and apply laws to cyberspace, the producers of the internet --- those who build it, program it, use it, or whose products are there disseminated --- create their own parameters, norms, practices, and rules to shape life online. Watch www.uwm.edu/Dept/CIE for conference updates. Sponsored by the Center for International Education (CIE)
