Information Ethics, Globalization and Citizenship : Essays on Ideas to Praxis, Paperback / softback Book

Information Ethics, Globalization and Citizenship : Essays on Ideas to Praxis Paperback / softback

Edited by Toni Samek, Lynette Shultz

Paperback / softback

Description

This set of essays brings together scholars and practitioners from different part of the world engaged in how ethical interpretations of globalization, citizenship, and information might provide insights into global relations and issues.

This effort expands information ethics work into a wider circle, as the subject is examined by a purposefully diverse range of perspectives, from philosophers, to social justice educators, to working librarians.

The book builds its arguments on both traditional scholarly and professional sources as well as new ones, by necessity, for example data leaked from software used by the Communications Security Establishment, Canada's national cryptologic agency, to spy on the Brazilian Ministry of Mines and Energy that were part of the leaked Snowden data.

The result is a work entwines cautionary tales with possibilities for resistance and that expands our understanding of citizenship and of the reshaping of public and private spheres.

On one level the book brings to light the expansion of globalization, digital citizenship, and how the borders and boundaries of citizenship as a national concern have been challenged by globalized information systems and practices.

On another level, the book reveals ways public and private spheres have been reshaped through colonialism, capitalism, and globalization.
