Information, Technology and Control in a Changing World

"Susan Strange often hides in plain sight; acknowledged as a formative influence on the development of International Political Economy, yet often absent from discussions of developments that would seem well suited to be explored through her framework on structural power. This volume joins a growing body of work that utilises her most intriguing work and specifically develops her insights on the knowledge structure in light of more recent developments in global knowledge governance. Therefore, this book not only offers a timely analysis of a crucially important issue area, but it also serves notice that a major scholar has for too long been marginalised and remembered only within the sub-disciplinary arena which she (re)shaped." (Christopher May, Professor of Political Economy, Lancaster University, UK)

"This collection of articles by leading young scholars provides a systematic prism to understand the 'shifting power structures' of knowledge and power in the digital era. Haggart, Henne, and Tusikov help the reader navigate the internet's complex convergence of material infrastructures, immaterial messages, and governance. An invaluable primer to the challenges ahead." (José van Dijck, Distinguished University Professor, Utrecht University, Netherlands, and author of The Culture of Connectivity and The Platform Society)

"We do not know nearly as much as we should about how knowledge relations work in the international economy. This novel and valuable book brings together an interdisciplinary group of scholars to better understand how knowledge works-and how it is structured by and structures power relations. It adds to a growing body of work exploring how the ideas of the late Susan Strange help us understand the secular transformations that are taking place in the world around us." (Henry Farrell, Professor, Department of Political Science, George Washington University, USA)
