Is private regulation of the Internet over? Have states taken over? This book examines the function of self-regulation in cyberspace. It argues that, contrary to what is often supposed in the literature, self-regulation is still an indispensable part of regulation of the Internet and will arguably remain so. It is intricately woven in the mesh of rules that governs the Internet today. Private regulation fills substantive or procedural gaps where no state regulation exists or where it is incomplete or ineffective, thus complementing the reach of state regulation. Simultaneously, states supply legal (and financial) frameworks that enable or complement self-regulation. In practice, often unknown to users, their behaviour is regulated by intertwined rules coming from both states and private groups. While each source of rules retains its identity and regulatory strengths, it is dependent on and complementary to the rules and processes of the other to effectively regulate Internet activities.

Review
"...The book is ... an elegant and well-written appeal for one form of integrated regulation bringing in both state and non-state actors..."

Book Description
Our behaviour on the Internet is regulated by a mesh of rules coming from both private groups and states. Private regulation provides rules where specific state regulation is incomplete, ineffective or non-existent. Simultaneously, states supply legal (and financial) frameworks that complement private regulation and together effectively regulate Internet activities.
