Book Description
Jeffrey James develops the insights of the often separate literatures on globalization and information technology and demonstrates their interdependence. The central insight is that globalization is mainly a technological phenomenon, driven by influences exerted on international trade and foreign investment by various forms of information technology. Developing countries, however, are not sharing equally in the gains from globalization thus induced by the new technologies. These gains tend to be concentrated among a narrow group of relatively advanced countries and, moreover within some of those countries information technology appears to exacerbate existing income inequalities.

Book Description
Organizational Information Systems in the Context of Globalization exemplifies the role of social theory in approaching ICT utilization challenges in a globalization context. The debates raised on implementation, policy, organizations and organizing, and social dynamics, increase our awareness of the diversity of perspectives we need to delve into when framing the role of ICTs in the globalization agenda. The equal representation of managerial and non-managerial decision making contexts alerts us to the fact that ICTs should not be considered only as a corporate wealth creation prerogative. This book contains the selected proceedings of the Working Conference on Information Systems Perspectives and Challenges in the Context of Globalization, sponsored by the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) and held in Athens, Greece in June 2003.

Book Description
McMahon (Institute for Sustainability and Technology Policy, Murdoch U., Australia) argues that the combination of power, usually in the form of wealth, and the availability of information technology has enabled the growth of large hierarchies throughout history. Speaking of social control in terms of a system of influences, commands, and feedback, he examines how information revolutions from the advent of telecommunications to the current global information web have conditioned efforts to attempts to impose systemic order on world social relations. He describes this process as one that has alternated between periods of relatively peaceful hegemony and open, international warfare, but has had a broad trend towards deep systematization over time in terms of market formation, mass industrialization, and cyber-financial coordination.

Book Description
From 1820 to 1990 the share of world income going to today’s wealthy nations soared from 20% to 70%. That share has recently plummeted. Richard Baldwin shows how the combination of high tech with low wages propelled industrialization in developing nations, deindustrialization in developed nations, and a commodity supercycle that is petering out.
