The Internet of Things – how do we govern it?
The Cyber Security forum at NUPI has the pleasure of inviting you to a seminar exploring what often is referred to the fourth industrial revolution: The Internet of Things. How do we govern it?
Language: English
NUPI
Seminar
This is what Dr Madeline Carr, Senior Lecturer in International Relations, School of Law and Politics at Cardiff University is coming to NUPI to discuss. This new phase of digital technology that we are in raises a whole range of fascinating ethical, legal and political problems which governments are (arguably) ill-equipped to deal with.
Networked household appliances, driverless vehicles and implantable health devices are a few of the many exciting technological developments that introduce great opportunities and considerable challenges – how do we govern the “internet of things?”.
Dr Madeline Carr is a Senior Lecturer in International Relations with a focus on global cyber security and Internet governance. Her research is embedded in a broad study of the ways in which new technology both reinforces and disrupts conventional frameworks for understanding International Relations and the implications of this for state and global security, order and governance.
Chair this day is Research Fellow Lilly Pijnenburg Muller. She is a part of the Research Group for Security and defense at NUPI with a focus on cybersecurity. Within cybersecurity her research covers public-private cooperation, multi-stakeholder processes, capacity building in developing countries, risk and harm, NATO and cyber resilience and deterrence. In addition, she follows international cybersecurity processes in the UN, OSCE and NATO.
The event will be streamed live on our YouTube-channel:

Makt og avmakt i cyberspace: hvordan styre det digitale rom?
A secure cyberspace is a necessity for the functioning of the economic, political and social structures of modern-day society. The stability and development of cyberspace is not preordained, but something that has to be facilitated. Cyberspace is constantly changing and to govern the complex set of interests, agendas and implications multistakeholder initiatives that promote cooperation between the public and private sector and civil society are increasingly put forth as the solution. This form for cooperation is widely seen in the policy community as a panacea for securing cyberspace. While academics have questioned these initiatives’ functionality, few have studied why they do not work in practice. By focusing on the power dynamics between the different actors this article takes a step towards understanding how these dynamics create conflict of interest in governing cyberspace. Through case studies of multistakeholder initiatives on the international level and in Norway, this paper argues that these initiatives are implemented without the necessary preconditions for such a form of governance. This article is published in Norwegian.
