Summary / Abstract (Note) | In an ongoing debate between International Political Economy (IPE) and International Political Sociology (IPS), the question of technology provides an important entry point. For a number of decades, oil posed both security and economic issues. Today, we find ourselves at a point where information is about to replace oil as the most valuable resource. Whereas dominant (liberal) accounts of current technological transformations insist on the democratising potential of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs), both IPE and IPS scholarships can contribute to critically analyse power relations in the digital age. |
