How do high wage countries stay rich in a global digital economy?
How Revolutionary was the Digital Revolution constructs a framework
for analyzing the international digital era: one that examines the
ability of political actors to innovate and experiment in spite of,
or perhaps because of, the constraints posed by digital technology.
In order to assess the revolutionary nature of the digital era,
this book takes four overlapping approaches. First, it examines the
reaction of nations, specifically Finland, Japan, and emerging
markets, to the dual challenges of globalization and technological
change. This section identifies both successful and failed national
experiments intended to deal with these dual pressures. Second, it
assesses corporate attempts to leverage digital technology to
reorganize work. A broad range of issues including off-shoring,
open source production systems, and knowledge management are
addressed. Third, devoting detailed analysis to the case of mobile
telephones, the book offers insights into the political economy of
market evolution in the digital era. The final section considers
the political ramifications of information technology for critical
societal debates ranging from privacy to intellectual property. The
contributors to the book map out how the digital revolution shakes
up politics, creating new economic and political winners and
losers. In order to do so, they connect theories of political
economy to the implications of digital technology for international
as well as national markets.
