The Normative Order of the Internet

Reviews / Votes

A significant contribution to the field of Internet law and governance: there's nothing more practical than a good theory. * Urs Gasser, Executive Director, Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society, Harvard University; Professor of Practice, Harvard Law School * Both necessary and timely. * Viktor Mayer-Schoenberger, Professor of Internet Governance and Regulation, University of Oxford * The substantial merit of the work lies in its description of the internet's order from a normative point of view and in putting this order in a discourse with the disordered literature. * Stefan Kadelbach, Professor of Public Law, European Law and International Law, University of Frankfurt * With this book a theory of normativity (or of the law) that goes back to Kant has to be rethought. * Thomas Vesting, Professor of Public Law and Media Law and Theory, University of Frankfurt * A fascinating study with path-breaking innovative analysis. A great achievement. * Rainer Forst, Professor of Political Philosophy , Research Centre Normative Orders, University of Frankfurt * Everyone who does not want to surrender to apocalyptic scenarios of digital totalitarianism should listen to Kettemann's voice. * Klaus Guenther, Professor of Legal Theory, Criminal Law and Criminal Procedure Law, Dean of the Faculty of Law, University of Frankfurt * The book comes at exactly the right time. * Wolfgang Schulz, Director of the Leibniz Institute for Media Research, Hans-BredowInstitut, Hamburg; Director of the Humboldt Institute for Internet and Society, Berlin * Kettemann brilliantly provides a fresh look at the Internet's normative order * Wolfgang Benedek, Professor emeritus of International Law, University of Graz; Former director of the European Training Centre for Human Rights and Democracy * Kettemann's book helps understand the complexity of the Internet's normative order in a multistakeholder environment. * Wolfgang Kleinwaechter, Professor emeritus, University of Aarhus; former ICANN Board Member; Comissioner, Global Commission on Stability in Cyberspace *
