Global Politics in the Information Age, available in paperback for the first time, presents a provocative and wide-ranging introduction to the notion that information technologies are creating new formations of power, control and resistance across the planet.xA0;The essaysxA0;-- ranging from the language used by the Bush administration to shape the war on terror, the attempts to control the circulation of informational products, the strategies of media management deployed to shape how the war in Iraq during 2003 was presented in the public sphere, through to the attempts to "brand" economic globalization and strategies of resistance developed by the anti-globalization movementxA0;-- unearth the new transformations that are unfolding in the twenty first century.xA0;This collection of essays brings together academics working across the social sciencesxA0;-- from International Relations, Political Economy, Sociology and Media StudiesxA0;-- to provide the reader with a number of different perspectives on the way that flows of images, capital, ideologies and informational goods are creating global spaces of control and resistance. The book seeks to rethink approaches to global politics that see information society as closing down spaces of resistance, while at the same time exploring the new formations of power that informational society is making possible.xA0;The book offers clearly explained theoretical insight into the debates that are shaping discussion on global politics and information society, with case studies that will be of interest to the student seeking to make sense of the changes that are unfolding.
