Cyberinfrastructure Policy in Global Perspective
Workshop Chair: Nanette Levinson, American University
Location: San Francisco Hilton, Yosemite A
Time: Tuesday, March 25, 2008, 9:00 am – 5:00 pm
Cyberinfrastructure policy is still in its infancy, somewhat similar to where Internet-related policy was a decade ago. There has been very little theoretically grounded social science research on this topic; and scant treatment regarding the role of developing nations or of non-state actors. A review of the last two years’ paper abstracts at the Annual Meetings of the ISA and the APSA indicates no papers using the term ‘Cyberinfrastructure’. The purpose of this Workshop, then, is to contribute to shaping a whole new generation of communication technology policy research— multidisciplinary works that benefit from some of ISA’s most innovative thinkers and theories and from models in related areas such as internet governance, international trade and finance, and international health and environmental issues. Participants will also consider and identify appropriate research methods and levels of analyses.
