Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Long description:
Elgar Advanced Introductions are stimulating and thoughtful introductions to major fields in the social sciences, business and law, expertly written by the world’s leading scholars. Designed to be accessible yet rigorous, they offer concise and lucid surveys of the substantive and policy issues associated with discrete subject areas.
This Advanced Introduction is an illuminating exploration of how one of the world’s most crucial technologies, the Internet, is governed and regulated at both global and national levels. Christopher S. Yoo and Alexander R. Mueller examine key governance activities, including technical standardization, management of Internet resources, and infrastructure security, as well as attempts by national governments to regulate Internet infrastructure within their borders. They also highlight the tensions between the Internet’s model of decentralized, stakeholder-based cooperation and traditional state authority.
Key Features:
- Identifies emerging challenges to the stability of the Internet
- Analyzes the distinct roles of private and public actors in Internet governance
- Makes complex technical concepts related to the Internet’s operation accessible
- Provides an overview of the institutional arrangements and coordination mechanisms which keep the Internet unified, operational, and secure
The Advanced Introduction to Internet Regulation and Governance is a vital resource for students, academics and researchers in information governance, intellectual property law, and internet and technology Law. It is also beneficial for technology industry professionals, civil society organizations and NGOs, and legal practitioners and policymakers, particularly those working in government regulatory agencies.

‘Understanding how the Internet is governed is key to understanding why the Internet is the way it is. Every aspect of the design, deployment and operation of the Internet is shaped by one or another organization that holds or claims some authority over that aspect. This book is a thorough but very accessible tour of the landscape of governance, and an excellent introduction to this critical but sometimes under-appreciated dimension.’
