Dear Colleagues, Our sixth eDevelopment Briefing - "Is the Communication/ Rights Agenda Damaging eDevelopment?" - is available at: http://www.manchester.ac.uk/idpm/dig/briefings.htm
It argues the communication/rights agenda is a strong force shaping e-development debate and action, e.g. in WSIS. This may damage e-development if it appears old and implausible, and because it excludes two key roles for ICTs in development: data processing, and IT sector enterprises. In the run-up to the WSIS-Tunis, Development Informatics Group at the University of Manchester will be releasing a series of these Briefings: very short (one-two page) overviews of current evidence and thinking on key issues related to ICTs and socio-economic development.
