Globalization, Information Technology and Development

Meer over het boek

The book explores the interconnection between globalization and information technology, arguing that technological advancements primarily drive globalization through their impact on international trade and investment. It highlights the unequal distribution of globalization's benefits, particularly for developing countries, where gains are concentrated among a select group of advanced nations. Additionally, within these countries, the rise of information technology may worsen existing income disparities, raising critical questions about equity in the global economy.
