註釋The American Internet Advantage examines reasons for and implications of U.S. dominance in the Internet business. The development of Internet technology, the comparative study of its uses in the U.S. and Europe, and the unanticipated consequences of political decisions and technological programs suggest that the role of government planning pales in significance to the complexity of the modern global order being shaped by the Internet through the confluence and clash of various interests. The future of this new global society is unpredictable, but strong ideological commitments and pragmatism may spell the difference between disaster and success for positive social change. While particularly appealing to scholars and graduate students in international political economy, comparative politics, and history of technology, the educated general public will also find this book readable and interesting.
