[image: Doing Internet Governance] <http://policyreview.info/articles/analysis/doing-internet-governance-practices-controversies-infrastructures-and-0> S P E C I A L I S S U E What are the invisible politics at work in the governance of the internet? Do companies frame the work of app developers and webmasters? What are the power structures behind Bitcoin? Was the Free Basics controversy in India a clear case of the clash of ideologies? These, and many more questions are tackled within the most recent publication Doing Internet Governance: The Practices, Controversies, Infrastructures, and Institutions <http://policyreview.info/articles/analysis/doing-internet-governance-practices-controversies-infrastructures-and-0> of the* Internet Policy Review*. This special issue makes an argument for, and illustrates, the applicability of a science and technology studies (STS) informed approach to internet governance research. An editorial and ten articles by a broad range of scholars aim to add to the mainstream internet governance scholarship by unpacking macro questions of politics and power. They do so through the analysis of the mundane and taken-for-granted practices and discourses that constitute the design, regulation, maintenance, and use of both technical and institutional arrangements of internet governance. Together, this body of work calls to rethink how we conceptualise both internet and governance.
