Globalisation, ICT and Developing Nations

This 246-page book focuses on the fact that increasingly non-state institutions are transforming economies. The author, Sumit Roy, also highlights the critical need for developing regions to shape Information Communication Technology (ICT) which can stimulate development and usher in the information age.

Roy provides a comparative study of the political economies of East and South Asia (particularly India) and Africa which enables new analytical and policy insights into the linkages between globalisation and ICT. He explores the replacement of state institutions by non-state ones; analyses the prospects of developing regions sharing the gains of globalisation; and seeks to explain the relationship between new technology and development.
