Abstract

This article attempts to analyze processes, discussions and institutions of cyber good governance. Cyber governance is literally, search for a free and safe cyberspace, yet it has become a source of political struggle in International politics. Cyber good governance is a component of global good governance, because cyberspace is global phenomenon. Yet, unlike physical world cyberspace is much complicated and anarchic. It also lacks governing institutions that mitigate anarchy at the global level such as international law, international organizations, great powers and diplomacy. There are some attempts to have governing and regulating institutions in cyberspace but there are several structural, political and technical problems. Central question in cyber governance is who is going to govern it? More importantly, is cyberspace governable?
