Ymchwil
My research centres on the increasing centrality of the internet in the Global Governance debate, influenced by the escalation of international disputes and inequalities concerning the governance of internet infrastructure.
My research agenda is clustered around these key issues, emphasising two complementary perspectives:
1) The increasing centrality of internet governance issues in foreign policy agendas, with a particular focus on the role of the EU in international negotiations and in implementation of foreign policy initiatives addressing human rights from technical and policy perspectives.
2) I look at the internet governance debate from a bottom up perspective. In particular, I am intersted in internet governance capacity building practiceshow and in how newly connected countries are developing their internet policy development capacity. This issue has been central in my fieldwork in countries in political transitions, including Myanmar and Cuba, where I am following the national connectivity building process from a policy perspective.
Finally, I implement my research and my active role in public debate also by being a Member of the Scientific Board of the Global Internet Policy Observatory (GIPO)/EC, a Member of the Civil Society Information Society Advisory Council (CSISAC) at OECD, member of the NCUC at ICANN, and by having served as consultant of EU Parliament, the EU Commission, the Italian Parliament, and the House of Lords.
