What are the limits of Internet Governance?

Internet governance can be viewed as a complex ecosystem of tasks carried out by many actors constrained by context-specific policies, markets, and norms. The emergence of a unitary cyber regime is improbable because of the different values and norms that exist around issues like cyber security and because of global disputes over cyber power. Rather, specialists consider the structures underlying cyber governance a regime complex, with a set of loosely coupled norms and institutions that rank somewhere between an integrated institution that imposes regulation through hierarchical rules, and highly fragmented practices and institutions with no identifiable core and non-existent linkages. Within this regime complex, governance approaches to issues take various forms. For example, international cooperation is more likely in the area of cybercrime, while governance approaches to online expression vary globally by cultural norms and legal structures. It is unlikely that there will be a single, all-encompassing cyber regime any time soon, and policy fragmentation is likely to persist.
