Abstract Our world is undergoing an enormous digital transformation. Nearly no area of our social, informational, political, economic, cultural, and biological spheres are left unchanged. What can philosophy contribute as we try to understand and think through these changes? How does digitization challenge past ideas of who we are and where we are headed? Where does it leave our ethical aspirations and cherished ideals of democracy, equality, privacy, trust, freedom, and social embeddedness? Who gets to decide, control, and harness the powers of digitization and for which purposes? Epistemologically, do most of us understand these new mediations – and thus fabrics – of our new world? Lastly – how is the new technological landscape shaping not only our living conditions but also our collective imaginary and our self-identities?

The new world order reminds disruptions and turmoil. Exponentially-developing technology plays a significant role in causing these radical changes. These rapidly-changing conditions affect leaders with all humans. As scientific knowledge, digital transformation, technology is a backbone at the point that humanity has reached. Thus, it has become a critical component, which affects leader behaviors and the skillset expected from them. In this context, this article introduces a new leader who distinguishes from other styles. This distinction arises from the skills that leaders must adopt in the future are different than the past, from the reality of the earth’s being on the edge of collapse, business leaders’ being obliged to act upon it. And along with these specific behaviors, the leaders’ having data-driven mindsets, being technology adept.

The article is devoted to a theoretical analysis of the possible consequences of the digital transformation of modern societies. The authors carry out a comparative analysis of three political and economic models of digital transformation: the cognitive capitalism model, sharing economy (the peer production economy) model and the digital totalitarianism model. It is concluded that these theoretical models reflect conflicting trends in the development of society at the stage of digital transformation. The authors suggest that in reality a wide range of mixed political and economic models of a digital society will emerge, each of which will include a particular combination of analyzed ideal types. The implementation of this or that model will depend on a group of factors, including: the national structure of the economy, the system of international relations, the territorial structure of urbanization and the ability (political, economic and technological) of a particular national state to maintain its sovereignty in the digital world.

AbstractThe following editorial introduces the special issue (SI) on “Work, Environment and Planetary-scale Computation in Political-Economic Evolution”. Here, however, we go beyond an outline of what each contribution to the SI addresses, and attempt to draw a more pronounced shared embedding of the arguments that have come to the fore. The original idea of this SI was to synthesize a range of contemporary global political-economic challenges, i.e. (1) technology (esp. digital transformation), (2) nature (esp. ecological crisis) and (3) work (esp. precarization via the evolving platform economy). The main argument developed in this editorial reflection focuses on the common ground and origin of those processes found in the complex evolution of capitalist development. We frame the latter by assigning it a new term, i.e. “planetary carambolage”.

Beginning by reading a 1992 feminist appropriation of Michelangelo's Creation of Adam – in a cartoon in which the finger of a nude Adamic woman touches a computer keyboard, while the god-like VDT screen shows a disembodied fetus – ‘Virtual Speculum’ argues for a broader conception of ‘new reproductive technologies’ in order to foreground justice and freedom projects for differently situated women in the New World Order. Broadly conceptualized reproductive practices must be central to social theory in general, and to technoscience studies in particular. Tying together the politics of self help and women's health movements in the United States in the 1970s with positions on reproductive freedom articulated within the Legal Defense and Educational Fund of the NAACP in the 1990s, the paper examines recent work in feminist science studies in several disciplinary and activist locations. Statistical analysis and ethnography emerge as critical feminist technologies for producing convincing representations of the reproduction of inequality. Untangling the semiotic and political–economic dialectics of invisibility and hypervisibility, ‘Virtual Speculum’ concludes by linking the well-surveyed amniotic fluid of on-screen fetuses and the off-frame diarrhea of uncounted and underfed infants in regimes of flexible accumulation and structural adjustment.

Resumen: En el presente trabajo reflexionaremos sobre las dialécticas: tradición/modernidad, local/global, formal/informal, pasado/presente, memorias/aprendizajes en surelación con las migraciones indígenas, y las respuestas de esta población a las condiciones dela vida urbana. El análisis de las migraciones internas entendidas como desplazamientos de individuos y/o colectivos en busca de trabajo y de mejores condiciones de existencia (Castells,1979 y Tamagno, 2001) y la relación entre urbanización, desigualdad y diversidad se realizaen este trabajo poniendo énfasis en los denominados “procesos de territorialización”, noción quenos permite dar lugar a la comprensión de las formas en que los territorios de pertenencia seconstruyen históricamente como resultado de la conjunción de factores políticos, económicos y socioculturales; algo de suma importancia dado el actual contexto de demandas territoriales y de la consecuente lucha por legitimar las presencias indígenas en el medio urbano.Palabras  clave: Ciudad; indígenas; migración; nucleamientos; procesosde territorialización. Abstract: This paper addresses the dialectics tradition/modernity, local/global,formal/informal, past /present, memory/learning, related to indigenous migration and there sponses of this population to the urban life conditions. The analysis of internal migration movements is understood as the product of individuals or groups looking for jobs and forbetter living conditions (Castells, 1979 and Tamagno, 2001), and the relationship between urbanization, inequality and diversity is emphasized in what we call “territorializationprocesses”, a concept that allows us to understand how the belonging territories are historical lyconstructed as a result of political, economic and sociocultural factors. these are very relevantissues if we consider the current context of territorial claims and the consequent struggle tolegitimize the indigenous presence in urban areas.Keywords: City; indians; migration; nucleations; territorialization processes.

The Impact

The article is dedicated to researching the impact of environmental factors on the processes of digital transformation of public administration. In today's digital economy, the effectiveness of the executive branch providing public services to citizens and organizations largely depends on the political will of the country's leadership, the socio-economic situation, as well as the technological and technological development of the public sphere. The authors to assess the impact of environmental factors were pest analysis, which reveals the most significant aspects of the impact of the macro environment and develop a strategy for the development of public authorities in the context of the digital transformation of their activities. The methodological basis is research into the problems of the system of providing electronic public services, the regulatory framework for their digitalization, the study of statistics, indicating the level of quality of the provision of public services. The results of the study revealed the most significant political, economic, social and technological factors of the macro environment and presented the main directions for improving the processes of digital transformation of public administration. Specific measures have been proposed for each group of factors to enable the executive branch to adapt to the external environment, thereby improving their performance. The results of the study can be used to develop programmes and plans for government agencies to digitize their public services
