- This book is deeply scholarly in its handling of a difficult set of issues relating to the Internet, explored through three empirical areas, and drawing on, where relevant IR theory, the philosophy of technology and SCOT. Drawing on the transcripts of over 150 US Congressional hearings over a 15 year period, the work is balanced in its conceptual/substantive discussion. The text offers new insight into US power and the internet, especially the multiple and diverse forms of power and role of norms and values as seen in the three cases. It is a valuable contribution to IR/STS and internet history.
