Internet protocols and human rights: Interplay or interdependence?

Sébastien Monnet   16 Nov 2020   Alumni, Diplo Blog, Diplomacy, E-Diplomacy

The Internet, as we know it today, has evolved from a platform of the tech, academic, and research elite, to a tool for the general public, given its wide adoption by the mainstream modern society (Naughton, 2016). Without the benefit of hindsight, few could have predicted the evolution of the Internet and how it’s continuously being shaped by economic and social changes.

In recent years, DiploFoundation has received a growing number of calls from course participants to include video interaction in our online courses.

Africa and Internet governance: At the table or on the menu?

Badriyya Yusuf   28 Jul 2020   Alumni, Diplo Blog, Diplomacy

Internet governance (IG) is a particularly challenging puzzle when viewed from the perspective of countries in the Global South. Many of these countries are asymmetrically integrated and constrained by structures of dependence established by more advanced countries. This is clear in the push for IG reform by countries in the Global South, arguing that the current model does not adequately address their concerns about access and affordability.
