| Title | Reconstructing Liberal Cyberspace: How Can Liberal Nations Respond to Contestation in Internet Governance? |
| Summary | With the increasing prevalence of post-liberal challenges within the domain of internet governance, it has become increasingly clear that the multistakeholder model which has been hegemonic within cyberspace for decades is incommensurate with the current de facto cyber balance of power. As countries from the ‘non-likeminded’ sovereigntist sphere of internet governance continuously look to challenge and contest liberal hegemony, which in this thesis is defined by the acceptance of the multistakeholder model, countries from the liberal international order are consequently put into a circumstance as to where they must defend such power in order to attempt to upkeep their values and principles within cyberspace. Consequently, in making references towards how states can deal with such contestation in the realm of the internet, this thesis will look to establish which scenario response employed by liberal nation’s has proved the most fruitful for the preservation of the multistakeholder model’s hegemony, and therefore the prevalence of liberal values and principals in internet governance. |
