Information And Communication

This paper focuses on determining the current state of adoption of new information and communication technologies by the population of EU countries from the Central and Eastern parts of Europe (referred in the paper as CEE-EU countries). We have conducted a detailed analysis between Romania and Bulgaria because there are historical, geographical, political and economic similarities between these two neighbouring countries. In order to objectively reflect the results of the comparative analysis at the regional level, we have used the data provided by the World Economic Forum through the Competitiveness Index, the International Institute for Management Development through the Competitiveness Yearbook and the International Telecommunication Union through the ICT Development Index. The results of the comparative analysis reflect many regional disparities. At the same time, it can be noticed that both Romania and Bulgaria are the countries with the weakest results regarding the penetration rate of Internet accessibility in their populations, a fact which leads to a low degree of adaptability of the human capital to new information technologies and, implicitly, a low rate of adoption of the Internet in the sphere of business and public services. This is explained by the insufficient development of ICT infrastructure in the rural area, caused by numerous factors such as insufficient economic development and the low purchasing power of the population, but also by the relatively low level of education in ICT use. Although the influx of information and communication technologies occurred after the 1990s, namely at a time when even countries like Romania or Bulgaria were already part of the free market economy, the gaps recorded during the communist regime (economic, but especially socio-cultural), were apparently difficult to recover in the years to come, therefore this upsurge in information technology has been somewhat delayed in the South-Eastern area of Europe.

Digital Governance

The literature shows that governments around the world have sought to improve their governing capabilities by developing and implementing strategic information and communication technologies (ICTs). The use of ICTs can provide citizens with greater access to government services, can promote transparency and accountability, and also streamline government expenditures. This research provides a comparative analysis of the practices of digital governance in large municipalities worldwide in 2005. Digital government includes both e-government and e-democracy. The research is based on an evaluation of a sample (n=81) of city websites globally in terms of two dimensions: delivery of public services and digital democracy. The official websites of each city were evaluated in their native languages. Based on the analysis of the 81 cities, Seoul, New York, Shanghai, Hong Kong, and Sydney represent the cities with the most effective e-governance systems.

This chapter presents a comparative analysis of three case studies (all from the field of social and political science) on global e-research collaboration, describing how Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) are facilitating the overcoming of geographical barriers. Previous research points out that physical e-research collaboration meetings play a relevant role. This chapter explores whether this requirement of physical meetings in e-research collaboration is independent of the scale and complexity of the collaboration established. The findings suggest that high complexity can be achieved using communication tools if the scale of the group is small, while very large groups can collaborate using communication tools if their target is a loose collaboration. However, if the collaboration involves both a large group and a considered complexity of collaboration, establishing a balance between communication tools with the requirement of physical meetings becomes a relevant issue.

Resumen: Son muy numerosos los estudios en torno al fenómeno del bullying, sin embargo el desarrollo de las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación (TIC) ha provocado el afloramiento de un nuevo tipo de acoso entre menores, denominado cyberbullying. La variedad de métodos e instrumentos de recogida de información utilizados en el estudio del ciberacoso conlleva que las experiencias llevadas a cabo en diferentes sociedades no sean equiparables entre sí. Se comparan, mediante la técnica de encuesta, las dinámicas de ciberacoso de la sociedad española y la sociedad francesa. La muestra está formada por 627 escolares de centros educativos de ambos países, cuyas edades están comprendidas entre los 10 y los 16 años. Los resultados obtenidos muestran que el número de individuos implicados en actos de ciberacoso es superior en España que en Francia, y que las características de este tipo de acoso entre menores son diferentes en ambos países.Abstract: Numerous studies have been done about the phenomenon of bullying. However, the development of new information and communication technologies (ICT) has caused the upwelling of a new kind of bullying among children, called cyberbullying. The variety of methods and tools for collecting information used in the study of cyberbullying implies that the experiences, carried out in different societies, are not comparable to each other. Cyberbullying dynamics of Spanish society and the French one are compared through surveys. 627 schoolchildren from schools in both countries have been surveyed, whose ages are between 10 and 16 years. The results show that the number of individuals involved in acts of cyberbullying is higher in Spain than in France, and that the characteristics of this kind of harassment among children are different in both countries.

The creation of a modern digital economy is the most important stage in the economic development of Russia and its territories. Digitalization of socio-economic processes significantly expands the opportunities of businesses, individual citizens and the state as a whole. However, the economic digital transformation is associated with the emergence of various risks and threats in the field of economic security, including those related to the inequality of Russian regions in terms of the possibilities of using information and communication technologies in practice. The article examines the essence of the concepts: digital economy, digital inequality. We identified the causes and problems of digital inequality in the territories of the Russian Federation and ways to solve these problems. The authors analyzed statistical data that characterize the international rating of the Russian Federation according to the four components of the global connectivity index, as well as a rating of individual regions of Russia on the level of access to digital technologies and communications. At the same time, we also studied such indicators as the amount of spending on innovations by the subjects of the Russian Federation, the share of the subscription fee for Internet access from the average (for the region) salary, and others. Based on the analysis, the authors of the article suggested ways to reduce the digital inequality of regions in modern Russia.
