Cyber China: Reshaping National Identities in the Age of Information (Sciences Po Series in International Relations and Political Economy)

This collection explores information technology and the new power struggles it has created in China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. The book is organized around two main themes: one exploring societal change and power relations, the second examining the restructuring of Greater China's space. In so doing, the book seeks to shed light on both the state formation process as well as international relations theory. The contributors analyze the interaction between information technologies and social logic on the one hand and unification and fragmentation on the other. They highlight the strategies of public and private actors aimed at monopolizing the benefits created by the information society as well as the new loci of power now emerging.
