"THE RISE OF NETPOLITIK: How the Internet Is Changing International Politics and Diplomacy"
A Report of the Eleventh Annual Aspen Institute Roundtable on Information Technology
by David Bollier, The Aspen Institute, 2002.

"The Aspen Institute Communications and Society Program convened the 2002 Roundtable on Information Technology to address ways to consider the complex issues facing national and international policymakers as we enter into this Era of Complexity. What are the significant factors that determine the evolution, and even the survival, of the layers of networks extant in the world today? What are the best frameworks for understanding the trends, forces, and characteristics of our emerging network society? How do we understand the stories of peoples who are different from us, and how do we tell our own stories, our national grand narratives, or our cultural heritages, so that they will be understood by others?"
