Abstract
This book explores the impact of information and communications technologies on the changing economic relationship between Europe and the Developing World. In the context of telematics-related trade, work organisation and distance education, the contributors elucidate the reasons why the phenomenon of globalisation need not be a battleground of competing nations. The essays written by leading researchers and practitioners, from the European Union and developing countries, identify the areas where policy interventions could lead to ‘co-operative competition' between the EU and the developing world.
The book contains fresh empirical data and will be of particular interest to scholars and policymakers engaged with the questions of spatial division of labour, emerging trading links, information processing work, the ‘brain drain' and tele-education.
