This book provides an in-depth comparative analysis of inequality
and the stratification of the digital sphere. Grounded in classical
sociological theories of inequality, as well as empirical evidence,
this book defines 'the digital divide' as the unequal access and
utility of internet communications technologies and explores how it
has the potential to replicate existing social inequalities, as
well as create new forms of stratification. The Digital Divide
examines how various demographic and socio-economic factors
including income, education, age and gender, as well as
infrastructure, products and services affect how the internet is
used and accessed. Comprised of six parts, the first section
examines theories of the digital divide, and then looks in turn at:
Highly developed nations and regions (including the USA, the EU and
Japan); Emerging large powers (Brazil, China, India, Russia);
Eastern European countries (Estonia, Romania, Serbia); Arab and
Middle Eastern nations (Egypt, Iran, Israel); Under-studied areas
(East and Central Asia, Latin America, and sub-Saharan Africa).
Providing an interwoven analysis of the international inequalities
in internet usage and access, this important work offers a
comprehensive approach to studying the digital divide around the
globe. It is an important resource for academic and students in
sociology, social policy, communication studies, media studies and
all those interested in the questions and issues around social
inequality.
