since 12/15/98		Columns::March 11, 2002 Weekly Reader Essays explore ‘digital divide’ in Asia $64 Praeger Publishers Many Asian countries are achieving remarkable success in closing what researchers call “the digital divide” between developing and developed nations, while others continue to struggle. The collection of essays in Cyberpath to Development in Asia reveals how the technological revolution has spread, and is spreading, throughout diverse nations. The book is edited by Bruce Klopfenstein, director of UGA’s Dowden Center for New Media Studies and professor of telecommunications, and Sandhya Rao, graduate adviser and associate professor at Southwest Texas State University. The Asian countries considered in this book are China (including Hong Kong), India, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, Singapore and Taiwan. The authors look at the diffusion, applications and issues related to the Internet within the unique context of the country being examined. The book provides insights into the various ways Internet technology has been harnessed and seen as an opportunity and also the extent to which it has been curbed as a threat.
