The Information Revolution and International Security (Significant Issues Series)

This companion volume to The Information Revolution and National Security (CSIS, 1996) brings together a diverse set of thinkers from the policy analysis, military, government, and academic communities to consider the implications of the Information Revolution for international security. While the discussion includes military affairs, it also considers the global social, economic, and political changes occurring because of the Information Revolution and their potential effects on the international security environment--for example, the impact of global information networks on national economies and of new information technologies on diplomacy and governance. This provocative, informed exploration is written for policymakers, legislators, and others seeking an overview of key global security issues accompanying this technology revolution.
