From the "Facebook" revolutions in the Arab world to the use of
social networking in the aftermath of disasters in Japan and Haiti,
to the spread of mobile telephony throughout the developing world:
all of these developments are part of how information and
communication technologies are altering global affairs. With the
rise of the social web and applications like Facebook, YouTube and
Twitter, scholars and practitioners of international affairs are
adapting to this new information space across a wide scale of issue
areas. In conflict resolution, dialogues and communication are
taking the form of open social networks, while in the legal realm,
where cyberspace is largely lawless space, states are stepping up
policing efforts to combat online criminality and hackers are
finding new ways around increasingly sophisticated censorship.
Militaries are moving to deeply incorporate information
technologies into their doctrines, and protesters are developing
innovative uses of technology to keep one step ahead of the
authorities. The essays and topical cases in this book explore such
issues as networks and networked thinking, information ownership,
censorship, neutrality, cyberwars, humanitarian needs, terrorism,
privacy and rebellion, giving a comprehensive overview of the core
issues in the field, complemented by real world examples.
