Transforming Global Information and Communication Markets
Author: Peter F. Cowhey
Publisher: MIT Press
ISBN: 0262260549
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 353
Book Description
Innovation in information and communication technology (ICT) fuels the growth of the global economy. How ICT markets evolve depends on politics and policy, and since the 1950s periodic overhauls of ICT policy have transformed competition and innovation. For example, in the 1980s and the 1990s a revolution in communication policy (the introduction of sweeping competition) also transformed the information market. Today, the diffusion of Internet, wireless, and broadband technology, growing modularity in the design of technologies, distributed computing infrastructures, and rapidly changing business models signal another shift. This pathbreaking examination of ICT from a political economy perspective argues that continued rapid innovation and economic growth require new approaches in global governance that will reconcile diverse interests and enable competition to flourish. The authors (two of whom were architects of international ICT policy reforms in the 1990s) discuss this crucial turning point in both theoretical and practical terms.

Book Description
World Bank Discussion Paper No. 257S. Spanish edition (Mejoramiento de la Calidad de la EducaciÃ[3]n Primaria en América Latina y Caribe: Hacia el Siglo XXI). Countries in the Latin America and the Caribbean region (LAC) have invested heavily in primary education over the past 10 years. International studies of achievement, however, show that LAC countries still perform significantly worse than those in the developed world and worse than many developing countries in Asia. This report reviews selected issues and progress to date in the LAC region and makes recommendations for the future. The paper recommends strategies for managing three elements that are identified as fundamental for improving primary education: increasing the provision of pre-schooling, making textbooks and teaching materials available, and changing teachers' behavior through new incentives and techniques. The volume includes tables, figures, and more than nine case studies. Also available in English: (ISBN 0-8213-2985-5) Stock No. 12985.

Data Politics
Author: Didier Bigo
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 135168258X
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 305
Book Description
Data has become a social and political issue because of its capacity to reconfigure relationships between states, subjects, and citizens. This book explores how data has acquired such an important capacity and examines how critical interventions in its uses in both theory and practice are possible. Data and politics are now inseparable: data is not only shaping our social relations, preferences and life chances but our very democracies. Expert international contributors consider political questions about data and the ways it provokes subjects to govern themselves by making rights claims. Concerned with the things (infrastructures of servers, devices, and cables) and language (code, programming, and algorithms) that make up cyberspace, this book demonstrates that without understanding these conditions of possibility it is impossible to intervene in or to shape data politics. Aimed at academics and postgraduate students interested in political aspects of data, this volume will also be of interest to experts in the fields of internet studies, international studies, Big Data, digital social sciences and humanities. The Open Access version of this book, available at https://www.routledge.com/Data-Politics-Worlds-Subjects-Rights/Bigo-Isin-Ruppert/p/book/9781138053267, has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives 4.0 license.
