Copy this The Gilbert Center: The Journal of Networks and Civil Society
Although the study of civil society has largely confined itself to the study of organizations, there is growing interest in understanding the broader contexts and enabling conditions for a healthy and effective civil society. At the same time, the spread of low cost communication systems in the last two decades has helped spur interest in applying the science of networks to social groups and social phenomena. We are pleased to announce the inaugural issue of the Journal of Networks and Civil Society. This is the second thematic issue in our journal series and is intended to complement the previous issue which focused on information technology.

Copy this George Orwell, "Politics and the English Language," 1946
Most people who bother with the matter at all would admit that the English language is in a bad way, but it is generally assumed that we cannot by conscious action do anything about it. Our civilization is decadent and our language -- so the argument runs -- must inevitably share in the general collapse. It follows that any struggle against the abuse of language is a sentimental archaism, like preferring candles to electric light or hansom cabs to aeroplanes. Underneath this lies the half-conscious belief that language is a natural growth and not an instrument which we shape for our own purposes.

"Even when you're using wireless internet, it's only really wireless back to your base station: the rest is done over real, physical connections."

Copy this The Class of the New - Home
In this short book, Richard Barbrook presents a collection of quotations from authors who in different ways attempt to identify an innovative element within society: ‘the class of the new’. Announcing a new economic and social paradigm, this class constitutes a ‘social prophecy’ of the shape of work to come. From Adam Smith's ‘Philosophers’ of the late 18th century, down to the ‘Creative Class’ celebrated by sociologist Richard Florida today, the class of the new represents the future of production within and beyond capitalism.

Between the increasingly strident demands by drug and media corporations for the protection of their trademarks, copyrights or patents, and the pervasive popular cultures of file sharing and pirating, lies more than an incidental clash of interests. In this bold new book, McKenzie Wark argues that the struggle around so-called ‘intellectual property’ is not just a legal or technical matter. It signals a whole new era of class conflict.

Forum on Economic Reform In recent decades the alliance of neoclassical economics and neoliberalism has hijacked the term “economic reform”. By presenting political choices as market necessities, they have subverted public debate about what economic policy changes are possible and are or are not desirable. This venue promotes discussion of economic reform that is not limited to the one ideological point of view.

While the world's markets and economies are becoming increasingly integrated, the process is far from complete — and differences between countries are much greater than generally recognized. As a result, the world is not globalized — rather, it is semiglobalized, argues Pankaj Ghemawat in this Globalist Bookshelf selection from "Redefining Global Strategy."
