GLOBAL POLITICAL ECONOMY IN THE INFORMATION AGE: POWER AND INEQUALITY

"From technology and change to knowledge and power, Global Political Economy in the Information Age examines how established theoretical traditions of international relations and global political economy are shifting in the information age. Written from a critical perspective, the purpose of this book is to examine how information and technology are becoming of greater structural relevance to our understanding of globalization. By addressing the linkages between these two together with current socio-economic developments, Gillian Youngs argues that technology is one of the key ways in which we can study how power is attained and maintained in global political economy."--Jacket.
