Global politics in the information age, available in paperback for
the first time, presents a provocative and wide-ranging
introduction to the notion that information technologies are
creating new formations of power, control and resistance across the
planet. The essays - ranging from the language used by the Bush
administration to shape the war on terror, the attempts to control
the circulation of informational products, the strategies of media
management deployed to shape how the war in Iraq during 2003 was
presented in the public sphere, through to the attempts to 'brand'
economic globalisation and strategies of resistance developed by
the anti-globalisation movement - unearth the new transformations
that are unfolding in the twenty first century. This collection of
essays brings together academics working across the social sciences
- from International Relations, Political Economy, Sociology and
Media Studies - to provide the reader with a number of different
perspectives on the way that flows of images, capital, ideologies
and informational goods are creating global spaces of control and
resistance. The book seeks to rethink approaches to global politics
that see information society as closing down spaces of resistance,
while at the same time exploring the new formations of power that
informational society is making possible. The book offers clearly
explained theoretical insight into the debates that are shaping
discussion on global politics and information society, with case
studies that will be of interest to the student seeking to make
sense of the changes that are unfolding. -- .
