Current transition processes have closely related with huge numbers of social spheres. The most significant transformations took place in the digital technology sphere. These trends have radically changed most spheres of life primarily including spread of information and communication technologies, civil services, diplomatic negotiations and promotion of state interests through "soft power". Importance of technologies as an element ensuring the sovereignty of states has increased due to involving information and communication technologies in daily people’s life and state management processes. The land, maritime, information and technological borders of sovereign states are actually blurred. The most advanced tech actors have opportunity to impose not only their own economic policy, making other countries dependent on high-tech products and its individual components, but also the information agenda. Nowadays social networks and technological platforms have almost gained the upper hand in competition with traditional mass media, both in terms of the speed of news distribution and audience coverage. This article is dedicated to the transformation processes in the digital, communication and technological spheres and potential impact of mentioned processes on the states sovereignty, Also the article reviews digital diplomacy as an element of "soft power" in promoting state interests abroad.

Rules Of The Game

The bittersweet characteristics of internet and social media have caught the imagination of the era we live in. No orb of this society is untouched by the marvels of information and communication technologies (ICT). The evolution of internet from ARPANET to social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or apps like Watsapp has changed the modern world from its core, impacting every nook of every society. These tools and services have made individuals way more involved in political, social, cultural, and economic happenings around the globe, making them feel authorized to send their message/opinion beyond their computer/phone screen. Amidst this backdrop, state and traditional diplomacy has seen remarkable technological changes. The birth of digital diplomacy has opened a plethora of opportunities for the people as well as the state. Postmodern understanding of a state's power beyond the realm of its military capabilities (hard power) and through the lens of soft power has led to many countries trying to win “hearts and minds” across the globe. But, the interaction of state and newer technologies in the midst of labyrinth unconventional threats has changed the traditional rules of the game.

Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) have been seen as pioneering tools for the promotion of the better delivery of government programmes and services, enabling the empowerment of citizens through greater access to information, delivery of more efficient government management processes, better transparency and accountability, and the mitigation of corruption risks. Based on a literature survey of previous research conducted on ICT systems implemented in various countries, this chapter discusses the potential of different ICT tools that have the capacity to help to promote public participation for the purpose of reducing corruption. The chapter specifically reviews the different ICT tools and platforms and their roles as potential weapons in fighting corruption. This chapter also evaluates different ICT tools, including e-government and public e-procurement. Finally, the authors develop a theoretical research model that depicts the anti-corruption capabilities of ICT tools, which in turn, has implications for academics, policy makers, and politicians.

Management Project

With the projects realized in any organization and the processes to carry them out, that consider the management of the integration, scope, time, cost, quality, human resources, communications, risk, procurement and stakeholder, it is possible to generate new organizational knowledge and take advantage of that already exists. In the particular case of universities, where different kinds of projects are constantly realized, with results that extend beyond these institutions in a way that impacts society in general, using appropriate tools and methodologies for project management is essential as it contributes to maintaining the necessary scientific rigor, even more so when the linked processes can be considered as fundamental factors for knowledge management in the dimensions of: people, processes, content and information and communication technologies. Thus and so, a descriptive research was realized with a non-experimental design, that had as general objective to determine the knowledge management carried out by the professors of the Technology of Services Department of the Simon Bolivar University Litoral Campus, of the State of La Guaira in Venezuela, for which the processes and areas of knowledge were considered for the management of the research projects done it, and it was diagnosed through a self-evaluation how professors managed their projects to then relate the information obtained to the factors that promote knowledge management.KeywordsKnowledge management, project management, processes, knowledge areas, university projects.

Effective Use

In this essay, we explore some of the details of what it takes to own, use and derive benefit from information and communication technologies, with a focus on regions where ICT adoption and use is especially low. We begin with a fairly meticulous description from our ethnographic work to which we'll refer throughout the paper. Though we consider this particular instance, we note that it represents of a wide range of instances from our ethnographic work in homes and businesses over several years in Brazil, Costa Rica, Chile, Ecuador, Bolivia, Peru, Korea and India. Our goal in this paper, however, is to change the conversation from discussions of infrastructure and capacity building to considerations of local, lived conditions in actual homes and actual businesses to suggest design alternatives that make effective use of ICTs more amenable to various locales. We offer two design directions especially for high tech corporations: Designing for Locus of Control and Designing for Local Participation. Along the way, we'll argue to re-frame of the current conception of "digital divide", putting the burden not on those with limited access, but on limited understanding within the high tech industry.

Resumo Quais são as implicações dos conceitos de cidades centrais e periféricas, na atual transição para a Sociedade da Informação? Qual o significado da centralidade em um mundo globalizado e numa sociedade de redes? As cidades centrais e periféricas, coincidem necessariamente com as metrópoles dos países centrais e periféricos? Este trabalho se propõe a construir uma base de análise de novos conceitos referentes às hierarquias urbanas específicas da sociedade da informação, assim como esboçar uma primeira tentativa de metodologia de pesquisa voltada para a análise das novas centralidades e periferias urbanas. Não se desenhará o novo mapa urbano da sociedade informacional, mas se oferecerá aos “cartógrafos” sociais algumas ferramentas conceituais para explorar o novo território e explicitar sua geografia. Palavras-chave: cidades centrais e periféricas, tecnologias de informação e comunicação.Abstract Which are the current implications of central and peripherical cities conceptualizations, in the current transition to the Information Society? What does centrality mean in a globalized world and in a network society? Do central and peripherical cities, necessarily coincide with central and peripherical countries metropolizes? This essay intends to build an analysis base of new concepts regarding urban hierarchies specific of the information network society, as well as it will sketch a first research methodology attempt aiming to analyze new urban centrality and peripheries. A new urban map of the information society will not be drawn, but it will be offered to social “cartographers” some conceptual tools to explore this new territory and to explicit its geography. Keywords ¯ central and peripherical cities, information and communication technologies.
