About this book

Despite the pervasiveness of the Internet and its importance to a wide range of state functions, we still have little understanding of its implications in the context of International Relations. Combining the Philosophy of Technology with IR theories of power, this study explores state power in the information age.

Reviews

“Carr has produced an honest account of power in the information age. It is certainly worth a read for those contemplating the complex nascent field of IR in the era of cyberspace. People would likely enjoy it both at the start of their academic journey and further into it, as a way of seeking perspective. The book’s qualities allow it to also lend itself to interesting debate around where the US power is headed and, indeed, its relevance altogether.” (Ana Stuparu, Australian Institute of International Affairs, internationalaffairs.org.au, December, 2017)
