Sommario/riassunto

This study seeks to explain three models of network governance embedded in digital practices that the mainstream monotheistic religions-Judaism, Catholic Christianity, and Islam-have used to lead and manage the worldwide distribution of their local nodes, exploring the connection between network governance and its digital embeddedness and showing how the latter enhances the performance of the former.
