      abstract = {This innovative book provides transdisciplinary analyses  of the nature and dynamics of digital game environments  whilst tackling the existing fragmentation of academic  research.  Digital game environments are of increasing  economic, social and cultural value. As their influence on  diverse facets of life grows, states have felt compelled to  intervene and secure some public interests. Yet, the  contours of a comprehensive governance model are far from  recognisable and governments are grappling with the  complexity and fluidity of online games and virtual worlds  as private spaces and as experimentation fields for  creativity and innovation. This book contributes to a more  comprehensive and fine-grained understanding of digital  game environments, which is a precondition for addressing  any of the pressing governance questions posed. Particular  attention is given to the concept and policy objective of  cultural diversity, which also offers a unique entry point  into the discussion of the appropriate legal regulation of  digital games.  Governance of Digital Game Environments and  Cultural Diversity will be of interest to researchers of  media law, internet law and governance, cultural studies,  anthropology and sociology. As the book addresses a highly  topical theme, it will attract the attention of  policymakers at national, regional and international levels  and will also serve as a great resource tool for scholars  in new media and in particular digital games and virtual  worlds.},
