National and international information policy

Jane Bortnick

Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1985, vol. 36, issue 3, 164-168

Abstract: Developments in computer and telecommunications technology underlie the shift to an information‐based economy. Throughout the world policymakers are establishing national policies to promote their information industries and to protect against potential negative effects of the information age. Efforts to address information policies at the international level involve a process of reconciling these varying national perspectives. Three aspects of the transborder data flow debate—privacy protection, national and cultural sovereignty, and economic development—provide illustrations of the effect that national concerns have on the formulation of international information policies.
