But the WSIS was never mandated with a clearly defined global "problem". The summit was held at a time when US-led interests were active in underminig several democratic forums of global governance, even as global capital appeared increasingly intolerant towards public policy regimes. Thus there was a consistent attempt to keep several substantive issues out of the summit discussions. Moreover, the private sector, as a supposed leader of the information society, was pushed in very questionable ways into various governance arrangements. - Reproduced.  aInformation society  aGurumurthy, Anita  aEconomic and Political Weekly  a69033  c69033d69033  00104070aIIPAbIIPAd2018-07-19hVolume no: 41, Issue no: 10pAR69489r2018-07-19w2018-07-19yAR
