This collection of essays addresses whether all nations will
actively participate in building the information superhighway or
whether the Internet will reflect global technological
inequalities. The writings are grouped in four major sections,
which examine theoretical issues on cyberglobalization, politics in
the electronic global village, global economic issues in
cyberspace, and national identities and grassroots movements in
cyberspace. Contributing scholars represent a wide spectrum of
disciplines from political science, economics, and communications
to sociology, anthropology, and philosophy. A number of
methodological and theoretical perspectives direct the writings.
Collectively, the essays point toward an emerging technology that
exhibits innate qualities characteristic of the classic notion of
cultural imperialism.
This edited collection, with its timely approach to the
implications of the Internet for global relations, will appeal to
communication, sociology, and political science scholars. The
interdisciplinary approach will also attract students and educators
from such fields as anthropology, philosophy and economics. To aid
in further research, select bibliographies follow each essay.
