At least since the early 1990s there has been a spirited ‘cyberlaw’ debate, which led to important insights about governance, regulation, and law in the digital era. But existing cyberlaw scholarship neglects, somewhat curiously, the Internet’s inherently global aspiration and the corresponding need to develop legal mechanisms to keep key institutions of global internet governance in check. To prevent regulatory fragmentation, we need to re-constitute global cyberlaw as complements to national regulation and (rare) transnational arrangements.
We look forward to welcoming you on July 3-5, 2023 for our Annual Conference entitled "Islands and Ocean: Public Law in a Plural World." The conference will take place at the Victoria University of Wellington, in New Zealand.
