“…Ову методу ауторитарни режими користе за надзор у циљу праћења и контроле дисидената, шпијунирају новинаре и њихове изворе. Eriksson & Giacomello (2009) описују филтрирање као нео-пходно за безбедност дигиталне комуникације и заштиту података, али и као инструмент за одбрану од пиратерије и кршења ауторских права.…”

“…This definition refers Internet Governance to all technical and policy discussions around the digital connectivity, and as result of this, internet governance debates cover broad and multidisciplinary dimensions. As a result of this, Internet Governance has been characterized by techno-determinist, on the one hand, and state-centric approaches, on the other (Bendrath, 2009;Eriksson & Giacomello, 2009). The firsts believe that since the decentralized architecture of the internet goes beyond national state borders, no single actor nor any centralized steering structure would have the full legitimacy to govern it (Drezner, 2008).…”

Myanmar is undergoing profound socio-political transitions, including rapid developments of its telecommunication infrastructures and related policy frameworks that involves both infrastructural and governance challenges. By focusing on the various stages of the connectivity building plan over the first 3 years since its launch in 2012, this paper explores how Myanmar is developing its internet policy capacity building, in the framework of the broader transnational internet governance debate. In particular, this paper addresses whether and how the new national telecom infrastructure and the related governance framework has been designed and implemented in respect of digital rights, notably freedom of expression and right of privacy. By process tracing the initiatives shaping the on-going connectivity building plan, the paper discusses the role of actors involved in this process, including civil society organizations, private companies, and foreign governments; whether we are witnessing any bottom up forms of internet governance practices; opportunities and eventual threats for citizens related to the implementation this connectivity plan; and finally, it tests and proposes a novel empirically driven theoretical framework aiming at expanding our understanding on the diffusion of global internet governance norms in developing connectivity in post-authoritarian contexts.

“…The notion of Internet control has been described as having three dimensions: (1) access to the Internet, including means of access and control of the infrastructure; (2) functionality or quality of the connections and the technical protocols of Internet communications; and (3) Internet activity which includes filtering, surveillance, and attempts to shape social and political discourse (Eriksson & Giacomello 2009). Recent substantial changes in provider interconnection strategies have had significant impacts on Internet-scale application design, backbone engineering, and research (Labovitz et al 2010).…”
