CIVIL SOCIETY AND THE MULTI-STAKEHOLDERISM -
DISCUSSION EMERGING ABOUT OPPORTUNITIES AND STRANGE
BEDFELLOWS
[Ralf Bendrath] Civil Society involved in WSIS has
finally started to discuss the strategic and political
implications of multi-stakeholder processes like the
World Summit on the Information Society. Besides the
usual “we have to be involved if we have the chance”,
there is a lot of skepticism, but not yet a full
understanding of how to use these new structures in
global governance.
