INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AND GLOBAL GOVERNANCE
Information Technology and Global Governance
Series Editor Derrick L. Cogburn School of International Service American University Washington, D.C., USA
Aims of the Series Information Technology and Global Governance focuses on the complex interrelationships between the social, political, and economic processes of global governance that occur at national, regional, and international levels. These processes are influenced by the rapid and ongoing developments in information and communication technologies, as well as new and innovative organizational practices. At the same time, they affect numerous areas, create new opportunities and mechanisms for participation in global governance processes, and influence how governance is studied. Books in this series examine these relationships and influences. More information about this series at http://www.springer.com/series/14855
