Editor: Danny Butt (Foreword by Nitin Desai), UNDP-APDIP, Elsevier, 2005, 155 pages, ISBN-13: 978-81-312-0110-7, ISBN-10: 81-312-0110-4.

This publication, with a foreword by Nitin Desai, provides an overview of the key debates on Internet governance. It presents the work of the Open Regional Dialogue on Internet Governance, an APDIP initiative that has collected perspectives from regional experts and end users.

The Internet raises significant challenges for public policy and sustainable human development, both internationally and for individual nations. While the Asia-Pacific region contains the highest share of global Internet users, it is under-represented in the forums that develop Internet-related policies.

This book presents the work of the Open Regional Dialogue on Internet Governance, a year-long initiative by UNDP Asia-Pacific Development Information Programme that has collected perspectives from regional experts and end users. It summarizes the key debates in Internet Governance from those involved in international policy-making. It also provides detailed analysis of critical issues such as spam, wireless technologies, security, multilingualism, and cultural diversity in the Asia-Pacific.

The book contributes regional perspectives to important global processes, and will assist anyone involved in planning Internet-related development policies or projects.
