Chapter 6 in Globalization, Information Technology and Development, 1999, pp 82-97 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract In the four previous chapters we have described a large number of different mechanisms through which information technologies have influenced the pattern of globalization in developing countries. Our first task in this chapter is to draw together the conclusions we have reached in each of the four preceding chapters and by examining the interrelationships between these individual findings, to derive the final, cumulative results of the analysis.1 In the discussion thereafter, we seek to explain the major patterns that emerge from this exercise and to assess the extent to which they match the actual country variance around the average degree of globalization achieved by developing countries as described in Chapter 1. Finally, after setting our findings in the broader debate on globalization and development, we assess some of the specific policy issues to which they individually and collectively give rise.
