> Title: Post-Snowden Internet Policy
>
> Editors: Julia Pohle (WZB Berlin Social Science Center, Germany) and Leo
> Van Audenhove (Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Belgium, and University of
> the Western Cape, South Africa)
>
> Deadline for Abstracts: 31 May 2016
> Deadline for Submissions: 31 August 2016
> Publication of the Issue: December 2016
>
> Information: In summer 2013, the world was shaken by the revelations of
> Edward Snowden, a former NSA systems administrator who leaked classified
> records of the surveillance programmes of the US intelligence agencies.
> In several countries, these disclosures led to a chorus of outrage by
> internet users and policy-makers. In addition, despite the fact that
> many international corporations dissociated themselves from US
> surveillance practices, the disclosed documents revealed how the nexus
> between the US government and the IT industry entails the neglect of
> privacy concerns on a large scale. Hence, the NSA scandal has
> demonstrated that existing Internet policy frameworks are not adequate
> to address illegitimate data collection and surveillance through global
> digital infrastructures. It thereby accelerated a necessary debate about
> the future of Internet policy in an increasingly globalised word that is
> interconnected by digital infrastructures.
>
> But as much consternation as Snowden’s revelations have caused, the
> discursive response to the scandal appears disconnected from the
> practical response. While users continue to entrust their data and
> personal information to US-based corporations, policy-makers in Europe
> and other regions have yet to put forward alternative approaches that
> would reform existing domestic and international Internet policy and
> ensure the respect of legal obligations and human rights.
>
> This thematic issue seeks contributions that approach the consequences
> that the Snowden disclosures have had, might have or should have on the
> discursive and practical level. We particularly invite submissions that
> reveal the complex mechanisms of Internet policy and its many
> interrelated (and often competing) discourses, issues and actors.
> Approaching the topic of post-Snowden Internet policy from a
> theoretical, conceptual or case-study perspective, contributions could
> address the following topics:
>
> - Privacy by policy or by design
> - Data protection in a globalised network society
> - Digital literacy and the power of users/consumers
> - Surveillance – between care and control
> - Digital sovereignty and data localisation
> - Accountability of international corporations
> - Policy-making in a black box society
> - Civil disobedience, (h)activists and their impact on policy debates
>
> Instructions for Authors: Authors interested in submitting a paper for
> this issue are asked to consult the journal's instructions for authors
> and to send their abstracts (about 200-250 words, with a tentative
> title) by email to the journal's editorial office
> (mac at cogitatiopress.com) by 31 May 2016. Authors shall also check with
> their institutions if funds are available to cover open access
> publication costs. Further information about the journal's open access
> charges and institutional memberships can be found in the "About" webpage.
