| Abstract: |
This article argues that a dialogue of society and its culture with decision-making practices is taking place in the information society and with respect to phenomena such as digital divides. The article reports on focus group research conducted in Greece. This qualitative research concerns Internet policy and regulation in particular and examines the dialogue of policy and regulation with society’s culture as reported by users and non-users of the Internet. The research fi nds that the perceived role of Internet policy and regulation passes through society’s everyday culture, with signifi cant implications for the implementation, effi ciency and future course of Internet policy and regulation. These fi ndings aim to fi ll in the relevant gap in the literature which often neglects the interlinkages between society’s cultural traits and mindsets and the practices applied in the complex fi eld of policy and regulation for the information society. |
