Hi, Elizabeth, We addressed some of these issues in a symposium edition of the journal "info" that examined the global elections of ICANN. Here are some links: "<http://www.prism.gatech.edu/~hk28/Klein-intro.pdf>Global Democracy and the ICANN Elections" info, Vol. 3, No.2, August 2001. http://www.prism.gatech.edu/~hk28/Klein-intro.pdf "<http://www.prism.gatech.edu/~hk28/klein-democracy.pdf>The Feasibility of Global Democracy: Understanding ICANN's At-large Elections," info, Vol. 3, No.2, August 2001. http://www.prism.gatech.edu/~hk28/klein-democracy.pdf Hans Klein School of Public Policy Georgia Tech

Hi there,
I'm beginning to look more closely at competing models of citizenship for online activists, and am wondering where to look for treatments of the relationship between cyberspace and cosmopolitanism(s). Theorists of globalization treat this in a very general way, but I'm looking for more specific approaches. I know that Charles Ess has written a piece called "Cosmopolitan Ideal or Cybercentrism? A Critical Examination of the Underlying Assumptions of "The Electronic Global Village." Can anyone point me toward other materials like this?
Thank you in advance,
Elizabeth Maurer
