The Geopolitics of Chinese Internets
About this book
Featuring leading scholars on 'Chinese internets' – in the plural – from around the world, this interdisciplinary book explores the changing digital landscape in China and provides insight into contemporary Chinese techno-geopolitics.
Policymakers, commentators and the mass media have widely viewed 'Chinese tech' as a unitary and statist monolith. This predominant view, however, is not only incomplete but has become increasingly obsolete. Using a pluralist and multilayered approach to analysing Chinese techno-geopolitics, this volume addresses the following important questions:
- Who are the key players in 'Chinese internets' today?
- What role do government agencies, state-owned enterprises, private companies and individual netizens play?
- How do 'Chinese internets' operate at the global, regional, national or local levels?
- How are external world or regional events influencing or being influenced by geopolitical patterns within China?
The Geopolitics of Chinese Internets will be a key resource for policymakers, scholars, researchers and practitioners interested in Chinese techno-geopolitics and the changing digital landscape in China. This book was originally published as a special issue of Information, Communication & Society.
