The Legacy of WSIS
AudioBerkman brings you inside the World Summit on the Information Society the enormous UN-sponsored convention held in December 2003. WSIS brought together a staggering number of international diplomats, scholars, activists, and government officials for discussions about the future of information and communications technologies (ICTs). How do you make sense of a milestone this big? The scholarly journal, Information Technologies and International Development, asked exactly this question in January by issuing a call for papers for an issue devoted to making sense of WSIS. AudioBerkman follows Colin Maclay, a Berkman Center fellow and contributor to the journal, as he and ITID editors sift submissions and try to evaluate the legacy of WSIS. (running time: 9 min)
