Scope/Description:

Understanding public policy in the age of the Internet requires understanding how individuals organizations governments and networks behave and what motivates them in this new environment. Technological innovation and internetmediated interaction raise both challenges and opportunities for public policy whether in areas that have received much work already e.g. digital divides digital government and privacy or newer areas like regulation of dataintensive technologies and platforms the rise of precarious labour and regulatory responses to misinformation and hate speech. We welcome innovative research in areas where the Internet already impacts public policy where it raises new challenges or dilemmas or provides opportunities for policy that is smart and equitable. While we welcome perspectives from any academic discipline we look particularly for insight that can feed into social science disciplines like political science public administration economics sociology and communication. We welcome articles that introduce methodological innovation theoretical development or rigorous data analysis concerning a particular question or problem of public policy.
