It is a common belief that the Internet can provide real opportunities for political transformation, especially in societies where freedom of speech is constrained by the government. This volume explores the Internet's political and developmental impact by analyzing it at the local, regional, and international levels. The essays combine to show that limited Internet accessibility in some countries has led to a problematic digital divide.

Entry subjects range from the two giants of Asia, China and India, to the microstates in the Pacific. Each incisive essay takes a fresh look at the issues facing the Asia-Pacific region. Topics include:

• Censorship and participation

• The Internet's role in the global economy

• Cyber-threats and Cyber-activisms

• The Digital Diaspora

• E-Mobilization and E-Democracy
