This paper discusses resolution of the contested meanings of inclusiveness, accountability and transparency in trade policymaking.

KEYWORDS: Trade, Internet governance, Civil society, Transparency, Multi-stakeholderism

Europe's regional internet governance meeting takes place between April's highly debated NetMundial in Brasil and the September's Internet Governance Forum in Turkey. Will the German organisers be able to make the link?

The NETmundial conference on internet governance was heralded as a success. But in civil society, assessments have been more nuanced.

In an ambitious move, the Brazilian government, technical and civil society organised a meeting to address key issues of internet governance. While not everybody was happy with the final result, process-wise it was a landmark meeting.

The dominant narrative about the governance of the internet in media and with high-level policymakers is misleading. Researchers Francesca Musiani and Julia Pohle explain what stands in the way of genuine multistakeholder internet governance as all eyes are turning towards Brazil and its NETmundial meeting.

KEYWORDS: Internet governance, Multi-stakeholderism, Net Mundial, Digital Cold War, United States of America
