Returning to the fundamentals of political science, namely power and governance, this book studies the relationship between information technologies and global politics. Key issue-areas are carefully examined: security (including information warfare and terrorism); global consumption and production; international telecommunications; culture and identity formation; human rights; humanitarian assistance; the environment; and biotechnology. Each demonstrates the validity of the view now prevalent within international relations research—the shifting of power and the locus of authority away from the state. Three major conclusions are offered. First, the nation-state must now confront, support, or coexist with other international actors: non-governmental and intergovernmental organizations; multinational corporations; transnational social movements; and individuals. Second, our understanding of instrumental and structural powers must be reconfigured to account for digital information technologies. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, information technologies are now reconstituting actor identities and issues.

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.
