Ian Brown and Christopher Marsden have adopted a clear-eyed, multidisciplinary approach to Internet governance and regulation, which they employ successfully to tackle some of the most challenging public policy issues of the day in their so-called five 'hard cases.' By hard-wiring interoperability, transparency, and standards-setting into a coherent framework, they have rescued user rights from potential irrelevancy and paved the way for a more holistic understanding of Internet regulation. -- Richard Whitt, Global Head of Public Policy and Government Relations, Motorola Mobility LLC Regulating Code is the best single resource on the contemporary global landscape of Internet regulation. By examining how both governmental and private measures interact with the Internet's technical code, Brown and Marsden show how the Internet is disrupting and potentially reformulating the very notion of regulation. A rare book about the Internet that is equally sophisticated in its analysis of law, technology, and political economy. -- Kevin Werbach, Associate Professor of Legal Studies and Business Ethics, Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania

agenda for the internet age, as well as for other stakeholders
participating in the deliberative process.—International Journal of

the geopolitics of information context) and is of value for a
variety of audiences interested in this field, including students,

makers and IT managers.—Online Information Review
