Readings & Resources Information Society & E-Government - W. Frisch Conceptional Framework: This lecture adresses the transformative role of ICT in society, seeking to promote the interdisciplinary study of the social, political and economical ramifications of the globalization process, with specific focus on Europ´s strategies for a Knowledge Society including perspectives of human rights and governance issues as they pertain to information and communication technologies. We explore some of the major political,and socio-economic related factors influenced by the spread of ICT considering cost benefit relations and long term consequences of growing rates of digital information emission and consumption. We identify and analyse key issues and trends of: e-Business, e-Health, e-Inclusion, e-Security, ePrivacy, e-Government, e-Learning, e-Governance, Broadband, Property Rights, ... towards a next social co-evolution with ICTs revolution, developing theories that enhance our understanding of how globalization via information technology is reshaping the identity of the networked world. We further explore fundamentals and recent directions and applications of modern knowledge management and Information Retrieval Technologies, with (both centralised and WWW-based) semantic & associative search clustering applications

M. Castells, P. Himanen; The Information Society and the Welfare State: The Finnish Model; Oxford University Press; 2002 Digital Divides There are debates about the causes and consequences of ‘digital divides’ within countries and between the wealthier and poorer countries. This lecture emphasises the need to consider issues of inclusion (and the terms of inclusion) from a social perspective, not simply from a technology access perspective. J. Humphrey, R. Mansell, D.

This lecture examines the implications of convergence for the development and enforcement of intellectual property rights with respect to digital content. This raises issues for policy markers, the producers of digital content, and citizen/consumer users of new services. R. V. Bettig, H. I.

Development Policy; Department for International Development; 2002 - (especially Chapters 4 & 5) New Media, the Internet, and the Economy The focus is on whether the development and spread of open source software involves forms of cooperation and sharing that are antithetical to the norms of conventional markets. The emphasis is on whether the features of the open source movement are likely to challenge conventional markets and if so, in what ways. S.

This lecture examines some of the issues for the further expansion of electronic commerce including the necessary developments in the policy environment, the importance of existing commercial practices, the potential for new forms of intermediation (or re-intermediation), and the basis for trust in the online world.

The discussion focuses on whether e-services can be empowering for individuals within geographically bounded communities and for those who are geographically dispersed. Although, e-government services play a role in this context, this lecture emphasises all services provided in the public sphere. W. E.

Why do advanced information and communication technologies raise new questions about the generation, distribution and absorption of information and knowledge? The lecture locates debates about the importance of tacit and codified knowledge in the wider context of changes in ‘innovation systems’ at the local, national, regional and global levels. R.
