Описание:
The growth of the internet has been spectacular. There are now more than 3 billion internet users across the globe, some 40 per cent of the world's population. The internet's meteoric rise is a phenomenon of enormous significance for the economic, political and social life of contemporary societies.
However, much popular and academic writing about the internet continues to take a celebratory view, assuming that the internet's potential will be realised in essentially positive and transformative ways. This was especially true in the euphoric moment of the mid-1990s, when many commentators wrote about the internet with awe and wonderment. While this moment may be over, its underlying technocentrism - the belief that technology determines outcomes - lingers on and, with it, a failure to understand the internet in its social, economic and political contexts.
Misunderstanding the Internet is a short introduction, encompassing the history, sociology, politics and economics of the internet and its impact on society. This expanded and updated second edition is a polemical, sociologically and historically informed guide to the key claims that have been made about the online world. It aims to challenge both popular myths and existing academic orthodoxies that surround the internet.
Описание: This major reinterpretation of British-German relations in the 1970s explores why the two countries rarely saw eye to eye over European integration. It shows how at the heart of bilateral tensions lay profoundly competing visions for post-war Europe, and reveals their surprisingly close cooperation in pursuing joint interests on the global stage.

Описание: The 1980s saw constant reports of an information revolution. This book, first published in 1986, challenges this view. It argues that the information revolution is an illusion, a rhetorical gambit, an expression of profound historical ignorance, and a movement dedicated to purveying misunderstanding and disseminating disinformation. In this historically based attack on the information revolution, Professor Winston takes a had look at the four central information technologies – telephones, television, computers and satellites. He describes how these technologies were created and diffused, showing that instead of revolution we just have ‘business as usual’. He formulates a ‘law’ of the suppression of radical potential – a law which states that new telecommunication technologies are introduced into society only insofar as their disruptive potential is contained. Despite the so-called information revolution, the major institutions of society remain unchanged, and most of us remain in total ignorance of the history of technology.

Описание: Drawing a line from colonial events to America`s handling of modern international terrorism, Pillar shows how presumption and misperception bolstered the "with us or against us" attitude of the George W. Bush administration. Fundamental misunderstandings have created a cycle in which threats are underestimated before an attack occurs and then are overestimated after they happen. By exposing this longstanding tradition of misperception, Pillar hopes the United States can develop policies that better address international realities rather than biased beliefs.
Описание: Paul R. Pillar ties the American public`s misconceptions about foreign threats and behaviors to the nation`s history and geography, arguing that success occurs in spite of, not because of, the public`s worldview. By exposing this longstanding challenge, Pillar hopes the United States can develop policies that better address international realities.

Описание: The rise of China is perhaps the greatest historical event in the contemporary world. Meanwhile, to explore and understand the rise of China is therefore the most important task of the times in today’s world. In the discussion of China’s rise, various theories of “China Threat”, “China Collapse” and “China Responsibility” etc. have emerged in the western world.
Certain specious arguments have filled the US policy circle and the public. Some made simple grafts and bold “revisions” on history, producing the fallacy of “America rebuilding China”. Some purposefully switched the concept, distorting the great historical process of the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation into a well-planned “Hundred-Year Marathon” that aims to replace the US hegemony. While reluctant to judge the above interpretations as fabricated out of thin air, we would rather take them as misunderstanding or misreading due to the lack of in-depth knowledge on “complex China”. Such being the case, what we have done in this essay collection is only to restore the facts as they are, or rather, to at least present opinions from the perspective of Chinese scholars. In doing so, we seek not to persuade or convince anyone, but to make Chinese voice heard in a truthful, objective and rational way. For this purpose, we have selected ten representative China-related discourses that are currently debated in the US government and public, and made thematic and condensed responses in the form of questions and answers – hence the name Ten Questions on China. Because of inadequate expertise and time rush, the answers to the ten questions are far from profound and comprehensive. As a matter of fact, what we do at this stage is to raise the points and look forward to further discussions.

Описание: The book clarifies American misunderstandings and mistaken perceptions about China from various perspectives, including intellectual property, economic trade, the military, etc. The “post-truth about China” fabricated by some American scholars and media has harmed and is still harming China-US relations, and has had, and is still having, a gravely negative impact on the world situation. Therefore, to clear up confusion, eliminate the bad influence of “post-truth”, solemnly introduce “truth” to people who cherish the China-US friendship, and let the “truth” again become the golden standard for the smooth and healthy development of China-US relations, it should be the natural responsibilities and academic pursuit for real academics from China and abroad. And this is also the cause and consideration for the development of this book.
The changes we are encountering in the world are unseen in a century. Changes create opportunities, but more often than not, they are accompanied by risks and challenges. A fair and reasonable dialogue between China and America and also the whole world is urgently needed, considering the increasingly absurd misunderstandings about China.
Also, there are few books now that confront directly the mistaken perceptions about China and explain them to the worldwide researchers and readers. This book aims to help disperse the “post-truth” clouds in US’ China policy, and jointly make due contributions, as think tanks and scholars, to the smooth and healthy development of China-US relations.
