Key issue-areas are carefully examined: security (including information warfare and terrorism); global consumption and production; international telecommunications; culture and identity formation; human rights; humanitarian assistance; the environment; and biotechnology. Each demonstrates the validity of the view now prevalent within international relations research?the shifting of power and the locus of authority away from the state. Three major conclusions are offered. First, the nation-state must now confront, support, or coexist with other international actors: non-governmental and intergovernmental organizations; multinational corporations; transnational social movements; and individuals. Second, our understanding of instrumental and structural powers must be reconfigured to account for digital information technologies. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, information technologies are now reconstituting actor identities and issues. 606 $aInternational relations 606 $aState, The 606 $aInformation society$xPolitical aspects 606 $aInformation technology$xPolitical aspects 606 $aPower (Social sciences) 615 0$aInternational relations. 615 0$aState, The. 615 0$aInformation society$xPolitical aspects. 615 0$aInformation technology$xPolitical aspects. 615 0$aPower (Social sciences) 676 $a327.1 701 $aSingh$b J.
