Gunkel, interviewed by Paul Kellogg. 330 $aOver half a century ago, in The Gutenberg Galaxy (1962), Marshall McLuhan noted that the overlap of traditional print and new electronic media like radio and television produced widespread upheaval in personal and public life: Even without collision, such co-existence of technologies and awareness brings trauma and tension to every living person. Our most ordinary and conventional attitudes seem suddenly twisted into gargoyles and grotesques. Familiar institutions and associations seem at times menacing and malignant. These multiple transformations, which are the normal consequence of introducing new media into any society whatever, need special study. The trauma and tension in the daily lives of citizens as described here by McLuhan was only intensified by the arrival of digital media and the Web in the following decades. The rapidly evolving digital realm held a powerful promise for creative and constructive good--a promise so alluring that much of the inquiry into this new environment focused on its potential rather than its profound impact on every sphere of civic, commercial, and private life. The totalizing scope of the combined effects of computerization and the worldwide network are the subject of the essays in The Digital Nexus, a volume that responds to McLuhan's request for a "special study" of the tsunami-like transformation of the communication landscape. These critical excursions provide analysis of and insight into the way new media technologies change the workings of social engagement for personal expression, social interaction, and political engagement. The contributors investigate the terms and conditions under which our digital society is unfolding and provide compelling arguments for the need to develop an accurate grasp of the architecture of the Web and the challenges that ubiquitous connectivity undoubtedly delivers to both public and private life. 410 0$aCultural dialectics. 606 $aDigital media$xPolitical aspects 606 $aDigital media$xSocial aspects 606 $aWorld Wide Web$xSocial aspects 606 $aWorld Wide Web$xPolitical aspects 608 $bElectronic books. 615 0$aDigital media$xPolitical aspects. 615 0$aDigital media$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aWorld Wide Web$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aWorld Wide Web$xPolitical aspects. 676 $a302.23/4 702 $aFoshay$b Raphael$f1950- 801 0$bFINmELB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910208947003321 996 $aThe digital nexus$92248500 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04275nam 22005895 450 001 9910300060303321 005 20200629141603.0 010 $a3-319-73153-X 024 7 $a10.1007/978-3-319-73153-7 035 $a(CKB)4100000002485415 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC5357915 035 $a(DE-He213)978-3-319-73153-7 035 $a(PPN)22464081X 035 $a(EXLCZ)994100000002485415 100 $a20180228d2018 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aIllegal Drugs, Drug Trafficking and Violence in Latin America /$fby Marcelo Bergman 205 $a1st ed. 2018. 210 1$aCham :$cSpringer International Publishing :$cImprint: Springer,$d2018. 215 $a1 online resource (166 pages) $cillustrations 311 $a3-319-73152-1 330 $aThis book describes the main patterns and trends of drug trafficking in Latin America and analyzes its political, economic and social effects on several countries over the last twenty years. Its aim is to provide readers an introductory yet elaborate text on the illegal drug problem in the region. It first seeks to define and measure the problem, and then discusses some of the implications that the growth of production, trafficking, and consumption of illegal drugs had in the economies, in the social fabrics, and in the domestic and international policies of Latin American countries. This book analyzes the illegal drugs problem from a Latin American perspective. Although there is a large literature and research on drug use and trade in the USA, Canada, Europe and the Far East, little is understood on the impact of narcotics in countries that have supplied a large share of the drugs used worldwide. This work explores how routes into Europe and the USA are developed, why the so-called drug cartels exist in the region, what level of profits illegal drugs generate, how such gains are distributed among producers, traffickers, and dealers and how much they make, why violence spread in certain places but not in others, and which alternative policies were taken to address the growing challenges posed by illegal drugs. With a strong empirical foundation based on the best available data, Illegal Drugs, Drug Trafficking and Violence in Latin America explains how rackets in the region built highly profitable enterprises transshipping and smuggling drugs northbound and why the large circulation of drugs also produced the emergence of vibrant domestic markets, which doubled the number of drug users in the region the last 10 years. It presents the best available information for 18 countries, and the final two chapters analyze in depth two rather different case studies: Mexico and Argentina. 606 $aTransnational crime 606 $aSecurity, International 606 $aLatin America?Economic conditions 606 $aOrganized crime 606 $aLatin America?Politics and government 606 $aTrafficking$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1B4030 606 $aInternational Security Studies$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/912120 606 $aLatin American and Caribbean Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W45040 606 $aOrganized Crime$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1B8000 606 $aLatin American Politics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911150 615 0$aTransnational crime. 615 0$aSecurity, International. 615 0$aLatin America?Economic conditions. 615 0$aOrganized crime. 615 0$aLatin America?Politics and government. 615 14$aTrafficking. 615 24$aInternational Security Studies. 615 24$aLatin American and Caribbean Economics. 615 24$aOrganized Crime. 615 24$aLatin American Politics. 676 $a363.45098 700 $aBergman$b Marcelo$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0864993 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300060303321 996 $aIllegal Drugs, Drug Trafficking and Violence in Latin America$92294290 997 $aUNINA
