Information, Technology and Control in a Changing World : Understanding Power Structures in the 21st Century, Paperback / softback Book

Information, Technology and Control in a Changing World : Understanding Power Structures in the 21st Century Paperback / softback

Edited by Blayne Haggart, Kathryn Henne, Natasha Tusikov

Part of the International Political Economy Series series

Paperback / softback

Description

This book explores the interconnected ways in which the control of knowledge has become central to the exercise of political, economic, and social power.

Building on the work of International Political Economy scholar Susan Strange, this multidisciplinary volume features experts from political science, anthropology, law, criminology, women’s and gender studies, and Science and Technology Studies, who consider how the control of knowledge is shaping our everyday lives.

From “weaponised copyright” as a censorship tool, to the battle over control of the internet’s “guts,” to the effects of state surveillance at the Mexico–U.S. border, this book offers a coherent way to understand the nature of power in the twenty-first century.
