Jorge Nef responds to one of the most pressing intellectual challenges of the post-Cold War era: the search for an analytical framework that will help us understand this turbulent and chaotic period in human history. His lucid and visionary analysis rests on the concept of mutual vulnerability: that in an increasingly interdependent world, global security is only as strong as the weakest link in the chain. This second edition includes new analyses of the economic crisis in Asia, the transformation of the G-7 into the G-8, the easing of the debt crisis, and Soros' critique of the New World Order. Data and sources are also updated, as are the discussions of conflicts in Africa, the former Yugoslavia, and central Asia.

Le téléphone, le télécopieur, le courrier électronique, Internet; la télémédecine, l'enseignement à distance, la diffusion de nouvelles et le télétravail : voilà quelques-uns des services offerts par les télécentres communautaires. Mais peut-on dire que ceux-ci répondent vraiment aux besoins de communication et d'information des collectivités qu'ils sont destinés à desservir ? Quels impacts ont-ils sur l'équité et le développement économique ? À mesure que les télécentres se répandent un peu partout en Afrique et dans d'autres régions en développement à travers le monde, il devient de plus en
