Internet Policy Review Glossary of Decentralised technosocial systems - Call for entries https://policyreview.info/node/1702 The glossary of decentralised technosocial systems launched in 2021 aimed to build a shared working vocabulary regarding specific aspects of decentralised techno-social systems among researchers in an interdisciplinary fashion. Indeed, a comprehensive understanding of the technical, economic, and political aspects of these types of technologies transcends traditional boundaries of scientific fields and demands an interdisciplinary approach that seeks to better conceptualise and critically evaluate specific mechanisms or processes inherent to distributed technologies. The objective of this new Call for contributions is to enable researchers and practitioners to engage with techno-social developments, relevant academic debates, and a normative appraisal of their ability and efficiency to resist the prevalent dynamics of centralisation and erosion of autonomy. In turn, the concept of decentralisation in the Glossary is understood to include the developments within the infrastructure and systems of information sharing and distribution of various types of content that seek to challenge and/or provide alternatives to the current organizational structures through distributed technologies. Additionally, the glossary aims to consolidate the current list of terms in a way that allows for broad engagement across academic communities to inform parallel research in different fields by broadening current theoretical frameworks through analysis of the processes, structures and societal outcomes of decentralisation.
