We propose a critical reformulation of international regime theory to incorporate the important role of transnational networks of non-state actors. We also explain the concept of Conference Diplomacy, and its evolution into Multistakeholder Conference Diplomacy. Finally, we discuss the concept of Transnational Advocacy Networks and describe the role they might play in international regime formation and multistakeholder conference diplomacy. We end with a brief discussion of the data available for this study, and the multiple methodologies employed. Methodologies used to analyze this data include not only traditional descriptive and predictive statistical modeling, but also social network analysis, along with inductive and deductive text-mining techniques.

GAID was designed as an innovative mechanism to enable private sector leadership, and multistakeholder involvement in addressing the plethora of follow-up issues emerging from the Tunis WSIS. The chapter highlights the impact of the decision to choose a private sector CEO (Craig Barrett, Intel) as the chair of GAID (as opposed to a UN official/Diplomat for WSIS and IGF). GAID spawned some interesting initiatives, the most successful of which was the Global Initiative for Inclusive Information and Communication Technologies (G3ICT). However, GAID barely made it through its first five-year mandate, and it has subsequently disappeared. This chapter examines what went right with GAID, and what went horribly wrong.

In 1995, there were an estimated 16 million global users of the Internet, up from the very small handful over the preceding two decades. However, by 2014, the estimated number of Internet users has grown to over 3 billion users worldwide and is still growing (Internet Growth Statistics, n.d.). These billions of users employ a dizzying array of mobile and fixed programs and applications running over the Internet.

Informed by international regime theory, this study asks four specific research questions. (1) To what degree did civil society use CMC to organize its work and participate in WSIS? (2) How did the civil society use CMC? What barriers did it face, and how did it overcome those barriers? (3) To what extent do these CMC practices reveal the existence of policy networks and their linkages with epistemic communities? (4) What was the effect of civil society's use of CMC? Using both quantitative and qualitative data from an international survey and archival research, the study finds that e-mail lists are the primary CMC tools used within the sector, although attempts have been made to introduce more sophisticated applications to aid collaboration. Within the civil society sector we find strong evidence of a readiness to collaborate along several dimensions, including high levels of cognitive and affective trust. The study finds significant civil society participation in global policy networks, with numerous explicit linkages to epistemic communities. Finally, we find that civil society has been active in nearly all of the WSIS policy processes, and developed a coherent, socially-oriented policy contribution, but has had limited overall inºuence on the final conference outcomes. The paper concludes by discussing the implications of these findings for the global governance of cyberinfrastructure and the Information Society, and provides recommendations for the second phase of the WSIS scheduled for November 2005 in Tunisia.

Established simultaneously with GAID, the IGF took a different approach. It did not attempt to privilege one stakeholder (i.e., the private sector) over another, but developed robust governance and management mechanisms and policies. The combination of its Multistakeholder Advisory Group (MAG), and multistakeholder Dynamic Coalitions (DCs) has helped to stabilize the IGF. Its initial five-year mandate was renewed for five years, and as a testament to its widely perceived value, in December 2015, the UN General Assembly extended the IGF for another ten years. This chapter explores the underlying factors contributing to the perceived success and effectiveness of the IGF.

These skills include the need to better understand how to manipulate symbolic knowledge and how to work in global virtual teams. New applications of information and communication technologies (ICTs) and new organizational models have helped to create important developments in areas such as e-commerce, e-government, and e-learning. Universities, companies, governments, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), and international organizations have worked to develop strategies for dealing with these monumental changes, including developing “global” strategies for building networks, fostering cooperation, and expanding their geographic reach. For all these reasons, it is important to identify and evaluate new methods of teaching international affairs and studies of globalization that capitalize on the tremendous advancements in ICTs. These approaches should take advantage of lessons learned from collaboratories and cyberinfrastructure that allow diverse groups of geographically distributed learners to collaborate in ways that are at times “beyond being there,” or more interactive than if they were located in the same laboratory or seminar room. Six broad and interdisciplinary streams guide the literature leading toward these changes: knowledge creation, education, and learning; group/team dynamics; building trust in virtual teams; culture in global virtual teams; geographically distributed collaborative learning; and infrastructure for distributed collaborative learning.
