TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss approaches to the governance of this new social and political phenomenon that could nurture the Fifth Estate's potential for supporting the vitality of liberal democratic societies and explain how this emerging "Fifth Estate" is being established and why this could challenge the influence of other more established bases of institutional authority.
Abstract: The rise of the press, radio, television and other mass media enabled the development of an independent institution: the ‘Fourth Estate’, central to pluralist democratic processes. The growing use of the Internet and related digital technologies is creating a space for networking individuals in ways that enable a new source of accountability in government, politics and other sectors. This paper explains how this emerging ‘Fifth Estate’ is being established and why this could challenge the influence of other more established bases of institutional authority. It discusses approaches to the governance of this new social and political phenomenon that could nurture the Fifth Estate’s potential for supporting the vitality of liberal democratic societies.

TL;DR: The story of how the US managed to secure an agreement, which heavily favored it, on intellectual property at the GATT, has important implications for global information flows as discussed by the authors, and understanding this event, the paper argues, will help us to understand some of the mechanisms which operate to bring about global regulatory institutions.
Abstract: The paper tells the story of how the US managed to secure an agreement, which heavily favoured it, on intellectual property at the GATT.

Understanding this event, the paper argues, will help us to understand some of the mechanisms which operate to bring about global regulatory institutions. Coercion of some kind will be fundamental to the constitution of global regulatory orders.
