Technology and Terrorism

Technology and Terrorism

In this volume thirteen authors from all points of the English-speaking world provide a tour of the entwined labyrinths of technology and terrorism. They describe terrorism as an epistemological contact sport. With espionage one can often deduce from a few pieces of the puzzle a plan's goals and its roots its sources. But the goals of terrorists are both vague and hopelessly specific while their means are restrained by rational institutional thought. Thus terrorists can be equally expected to flail out without any thought at all as a child might exhibit in a temper tantrum and to be hyper-rational probing at the edges of the target for any weakness. Therefore how terrorists use technology may not be determined by any particular level of technology but in the probabilities for the target's expectation and defense regarding particular technologies. Fred Allen asks why Bin Laden and his organization were effective against the Russians but may have more trouble with free societies. Edward Tenner muses on the ironies of low-tech attacks and the dangers of over-reliance on high-tech sophistication. Such thoughts are tempered by direct and unreassuring reportage from the federal security front. Ann Larabee turns the telescope around with a history showing that bomb-throwing is as American as apple pie. Toby Blyth takes us inside the theorists' backroom for a look at the ever-mutating ways means and motives of war. It used to be about power money land resources or the ever-popular Pamir Knot Great Game. Now it seems that globalization has coughed up groups of people with little in common except for simultaneous feelings of helplessness and cultural superiority. Modern technology which once seemed to hold only promise now seems to harbor the potential for danger and destruction. The contributors to this volume are interested in the broader culture and how terrorism affects that culture-including how people go about researching terrorism.

The New Digital Education Policy Landscape From Education Systems to Platforms

The New Digital Education Policy Landscape From Education Systems to Platforms

This book provides a scholarly investigation of the new era we have entered in which platforms can replace or profoundly modify educational systems and questions the role of educational policy in this new stage of platform-based digital technology. The contributors explore important questions around who controls these transformations what form they are taking what the balance between national education policies and Big Tech education solutions should be as well as whether there should be a public platform in every education system that digitally expands learning and what evidence there is that learning will be more efficient using these platforms. The first part provides a selection of empirical studies on the new digital educational policy and an analysis of the real opportunities and concerns that governments face in this regard while the second offers reflections on the processes of platformization and the role of the state in this new digital world. Uniquely examining the temporal evolution of these changes and taking a theoretical political and epistemological approach it crucially opens pathways for dialogical and diverse critical thinking about profound problems and possibilities. Gathering purposeful thinking that creates space for design solutions and rethinking educational systems considering these new technological artefacts it will appeal to researchers and specialists in the fields of educational technology and educational policy. | The New Digital Education Policy Landscape From Education Systems to Platforms

Digital Platforms and the Global South Reconfiguring Power Relations in the Cultural Industries

Digital Platforms and the Global South Reconfiguring Power Relations in the Cultural Industries

This book addresses the issues raised by digital platforms in the Global South with an emphasis on the cultural stakes involved. It brings together an interdisciplinary team of researchers – including political economists socio-economists geographers media sociologists or anthropologists – who each explore these issues through an insightful case study at a local national regional or international scale. While studying the strategies of some of the main US-based Big Tech platforms or video streaming platforms towards the Global South the chapters also consider the often-neglected active role local or regional actors play in the expansion of those Western digital players and highlight the existence of a constellation of local or regional platforms that have emerged in Africa Asia Latin America or the Middle East. In addition to analysing the complex relationships of competition collaboration or dependence between these diverse actors this volume examines the ways in which the rise of these digital platforms has generated new forms of cultural entrepreneurship and participated in the reconfiguring of the conditions in which cultural contents are produced and circulated in the Global South. This volume will appeal to readers interested in the transnationalisation of cultural industries or in the social political economic cultural and geopolitical dimensions of digital transformations and will be an important resource for students teachers and researchers in media communication cultural studies international relations and area studies programmes. | Digital Platforms and the Global South Reconfiguring Power Relations in the Cultural Industries

Cryptocurrency Regulation A Reflexive Law Approach

Cryptocurrency Regulation A Reflexive Law Approach

This work argues that current cryptocurrency regulation particularly in the areas of enforcement and compliance is inadequate. It proposes reflexive regulation as an alternative approach. This book provides strategies for a reflexive regulation approach to cryptocurrencies developed through the identification of the internal self-regulatory mechanisms of the cryptocurrency system. Apportioning blame for current problems to the regulators’ failure to take into account the inherent technical features of cryptocurrencies the work promotes reflexive regulation in which the law acts at a subsystem-specific level to install correct and redefine democratic self-regulatory mechanisms. It provides strategies for this approach developed through the identification of the internal self-regulatory mechanisms of the cryptocurrency system. These are identified as imbedded in the technical functionality of computer code and consensus-based distributive governance mechanisms respectively. In addition to providing a technical historical and legal overview of cryptocurrencies the book concludes by providing recommendations aimed at redirecting code and consensus towards achieving regulatory goals. In this way it draws from the theory of reflexive law in order to provide both a substantive and jurisprudential perspective on the regulation of cryptocurrencies and to illustrate how Financial Technology (Fintech) regulation can only be effective once regulators consider both the ‘Fin’ and the ‘tech’ in their regulatory approaches. The book will be of interest to researchers academics and policy-makers working in the areas of Financial Regulation and Jurisprudence Financial Crime Banking Regulation Information Systems and Information Technology. | Cryptocurrency Regulation A Reflexive Law Approach
