Civil Society and the Gender Agenda at the World Summit on the Information Society: A Bibliographic Review
Abstract
The World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) was the first multi-stakeholder process in which States, business and civil society laid the conceptual foundations on which the so-called Information Society was shaped. The limitations of such a process resulted in a series of agreements on minimum consensus in which a liberal vision of this society prevailed. The objective of this tour is to identify and systematize the academic analyses and discussions around the World Summit on the Information Society, with particular emphasis on those that focus on the participation of civil society and its possibilities of installing the gender agenda and Information and Communication Technologies.
