Surveillance, Information Technology, and Reconfiguring Borders
In the 1990s, it was commonplace to claim that the forces of globalization were rapidly eroding the capacity of states to control their increasingly sieve‐like borders. Claims of an emerging border
When the ‘information revolution’ and the US security state collide: Money laundering and the proliferation of surveillance
For law enforcement agencies, the ‘information revolution’ is eroding their capacity to regulate money laundering, thereby undermining their ability to combat drug trafficking and terrorism. They argue that without enhanced surveillance powers, these problems will be exacerbated. This emphasis on the control problems precipitated by technology distorts our understanding of the relationship between the ‘information revolution’ and money laundering…
Finance warfare, surveillance and collateral damage
In the immediate aftermath of the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, finance warfare emerged as a major instrument in the Bush administration's anti‐terrorist strategy. Identifying
The Escalation of Telecommunications Surveillance
Toward an Explanation of Television Broadcast Restructuring in the Czech Republic
Czech television has been in ferment since the collapse of Communism in 1989. A little over a decade ago, the state monopolized television. Today, the Czech Republic has a well-developed dual broadcast system. The state continues to have a television operation but this is now institutionalized as a public broadcast corporation. Coexisting with this corporation are several private sector operations, the most successful being TV Nova. The purpose o…
Telephone Privacy: Residential User Perspectives and Strategies
As policy-makers in various countries have turned to devising policy in the relatively unfamiliar terrain of telephone privacy, it is evident that they have done so with little empirical evidence concerning the relevant perceptions and behaviours of residential telephone users. We have two objectives. First, focusing on the US context, we seek to build on the little empirical work that has been done on these users' perceptions and behaviours rega…
Telecommunication networks as social space: Implications for research and policy and an exemplar
We can only understand the scope, nature and underlying driving forces of the major changes now occuring in telecommunications networks if we grasp the linkages between the technical design of the relevant technologies, the corporate and government policy decisions shaping telecommunications products and services and the changing perceptions and behaviours of network users. In this article we attempt to grasp these linkages by developing a socio-…
State, national identity and media
The struggle among media corporations for power and profit is being waged on a planetary scale. A relatively small number of transnational giants (e.g., Sony, Time Warner, Walt Disney, and Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation) maneuver to deliver endless audio‐visual products across new swaths of geographic and social space. This has resulted largely from the development of new delivery systems such as communication satellites, and from a global pol…
Integration, the Indian state and STAR TV: Policy and theory issues
Since the advent of STAR TV, television programming in India has transformed significantly. Television is no longer under strict government control. What are the implications for the government's national integration project? Will it strengthen or weaken the govern ment's capacity for social control? Will it undermine the government's elaboration of a national identity? The paper addresses these questions. We begin by identifying the social force…

Telecommunication, rural development and the Maitland report
The impact of the transfer of information technology on development
Like other technical changes, the new information technologies have inspired hopes and fears. The optimists celebrate the “technologies of freedom” and their potential for growth and autonomy, the enhancement of skills and culture, the elimination of unpleasant and boring tasks (Pool 1984). On the other hand, the pessimists fear dehumanized work, growing unemployment, and bureaucracy, with unavoidable threats to privacy (Mosco 1987; Robins and We…
