The growth and health of our digital economies and societies depend on the core protocols and infrastructure of the Internet. This technical and logical substructure of our digital existence is now in need of protection against unwarranted interference in order to sustain the growth and the integrity of the global Internet. The Internet's key protocols and infrastructure can be considered a global public good that provides benefits to everyone in the world. Countering the growing state interference with this 'public core of the Internet' requires a new international agenda for Internet governance that departs from the notion of a global public good. Core ingredients of this strategy are: - To establish and disseminate an international norm stipulating that the Internet's public core - its main protocols and infrastructure- should be considered a neutral zone, safeguarded against unwarranted intervention by governments.- To advocate efforts to clearly differentiate at the national and international level between Internet security (security of the Internet infrastructure) and national security (security through the Internet).- To broaden the arena for cyber diplomacy to include new coalitions of states (including the so called 'swing states') and private companies, including the large Internet companies as well as Internet intermediaries such as Internet Service Providers.

Rethinking politics in a new vocabulary, Hans Sluga challenges the firmly held assumption that there exists a single common good which politics is meant to realize. He argues that politics is not a natural but a historical phenomenon, and not a single thing but a multiplicity of political forms and values only loosely related. He contrasts two traditions in political philosophy: a 'normative theorizing' that extends from Plato to John Rawls and a newer 'diagnostic practice' that emerged with Marx and Nietzsche and has found its three most prominent twentieth-century practitioners in Carl Schmitt, Hannah Arendt, and Michel Foucault. He then examines the sources of diagnostic political thinking, analyzes its achievements, and offers a critical assessment of its limitations. His important book will be of interest to a wide range of upper-level students and scholars in political philosophy, political theory, and the history of ideas.

"Destinée aux étudiants, utile aux enseignants, la série 'Notions' est consacrée au traitement des notions inscrites au programme des Capes et Agrégations de philosophie ainsi qu'aux concours de grandes écoles. Rédigée par des professeurs de classes préparatoires ou des universités soucieux de rigueur conceptuelle, elle montre comment élaborer un chemin spéculatif original, cohérent et dialectique, respectant les complexités, l'histoire et la fécondité des notions abordées. Le commun - L'ouvrage met en perspective les différentes conceptualisations de la notion de 'commun' en les resituant dans les champs de la métaphysique, de la philosophie du langage et de la philosophie de la connaissance. Cette armature conceptuelle forte donne accès à une réflexion de philosophie politique et sociale dont l'enjeu est la question de l'unité du divers. De quoi la fameuse 'tragédie des communs' est-elle le nom ? De rien moins que de la quête d'une unité politique malgré la diversité irréductible des intérêts individuels. Trouver le commun, c'est parvenir à dépasser l'incommensurabilité des intérêts privés afin de rendre possible la coopération à tous les échelons de la vie sociale. Le commun est ainsi devenu un problème central de la philosophie politique et sociale de la fin du XXe et du début du XXIe siècle, ranimant les critiques adressées un siècle plus tôt par le communisme et le socialisme à l'encontre de la société marchande et de l'idéologie propriétaire exclusiviste. En privilégiant les aspects proprement politiques et juridiques du thème, ce livre accorde une place importante au dialogue entre les auteurs 'classiques', mais aussi aux propositions plus récentes et à l'articulation entre le théorique et l'empirique - le tout appuyé sur de nombreux exemples."--Page 4 of cover

The theme of this book is the crisis of the early modern state in eighteenth-century Britain. The revolt of the North American colonies and the simultaneous demand for wider religious toleration at home challenged the principles of sovereignty and obligation that underpinned arguments about the character of the state. These were expressed in terms of the 'common good', 'necessity', and 'community' - concepts that came to the fore in early modern European political thought and which gave expression to the problem of defining legitimate authority in a period of increasing consciousness of state power. The Americans and their British supporters argued that individuals ought to determine the common good of the community. A new theory of representation and freedom of thought defines the cutting edge of this revolutionary redefinition of the basic relationship between individual and community.
