This book considers the Chinese internet as an ensemble of ideas,
ownership, policies, laws, and interests that intersect with
pre-existing global elements and, increasingly, with deepening
globalizing imperatives. It extends traditional inquiry about
digital China and globalization and encourages closer attention to
contestation, shifting international order, transformation of
states, and new requirements of global digital capitalism. Across
the three foci of history, power, and governance, this book
considers the ways the Chinese internet is entangled with
transnational capitals, ideas, and institutions, while at the same
time manifests a strong globalizing drive. It begins with a
historical political economy approach that emphasizes the
dialectics between structural imperatives and historical
contingency. As for governance, the Chinese state has set out to
re-regulate the internet as the network becomes ubiquitous during
the nation's web-oriented digital transformation. Such a
state-centric governance model, however, is likely to affect
China's global expansion, apart from the fact that the state is
taking an active interest in global internet governance. This book
will be of interest to researchers and advanced students of
Communication Studies, Politics, Sociology, Economics, Cultural
Studies, and Science and Technology Studies. The chapters in this
book were originally published as a special issue of the Chinese
Journal of Communication.
