The article deals with the concept of a “global village” in the aspect of communication. In the first part of the article this concept is introduced without undertaking any judgments and following a position of a judicial researcher. In the second part the conditions of the possibility of a “global village”, regarding the crucial differences of globality and villagicity and their incompatibility, are questioned. A thought is raised whether M. McLuhan's “global village”, which is constituted by contemporary information and communication technologies and treated as new media, should be assessed as a “global city”, attaching to globality some essentially new and unaccustomed meanings, inspired by the traditional socio‐cultural structural transformations to the networkful nonstructural systems. „Globaliojo kaimo“ lokalumas komunikaciniu aspektu: pro et contra M. Mcluhanui Santrauka Straipsnyje komunikaciniu aspektu tiriama M. McLuhano „globaliojo kaimo“ samprata. Pirmoje jo dalyje ši samprata pristatoma nesiimant jokių jos vertinimų ir laikantis bešališkos tyrėjo pozicijos. Antroje straipsnio dalyje kvestionuojamos „globaliojo kaimo“ galimybės sąlygos dėl esminių globalumo ir kaimiškumo skirtumų bei jų tarpusavio nesuderinamumo. Išsakoma mintis, kad McLuhano įžvelgiamas „globalusis kaimas“, kurį jo mąstymo perspektyvoje steigia dabartinės informacijos ir komunikacijos technologijos, traktuojamos kaip naujosios medijos, turėtų būti traktuojamas kaip „globalusis didmiestis“, globalumui suteikiant iš esmės naujų ir neįprastų konotacijų, inspiruotų tradicinių sociokultūrinių struktūrų transformacijų į tam tikras tinkliškas bestruktūres sistemas.

Cyber-Diplomacy: Managing Foreign Policy in the Twenty-First Century, Evan H. Potter, ed., Montreal & Kingston: McGill-Queen's University Press, 2002, xii, 208.We are repeatedly told that we live in a revolutionary age, a time in which dramatic new developments in information and communication technologies (ICTs) will fundamentally transform the ways in which we live and work. Even the collapse of the dot.com bubble in 2000 has not much dampened the spirits of the techno-utopians. Given these often-exaggerated claims, I approached Cyber-Diplomacy with some trepidation, as the editor cites Marshall McLuhan's ‘global village’ in the first line of his introduction, and speaks of an information revolution in his second paragraph. However, as I pressed on in the text I was very pleasantly surprised to find that the editor and authors of this short volume are well aware of the dangers of overstatement in relation to ICTs, and work very hard throughout to avoid techno-utopianism. Instead, the authors attempt to take a fairly sober look at “how diplomacy is adapting to the new global information order” (7).

Information And Communication

In the development process, Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs), which also commonly referred to as electronic media or cyber media have been acknowledged as a new instrument that could facilitate the need of new information and innovation for rural people or farmers. However, several studies reported that extension and communication based-electronic media in developing countries encounter more problems rather than in developed countries. This research aims to investigate the ownership, access, utilization or functions of ICTs for obtaining information supporting the daily life of farmers and for promoting various farming activities in the coastal area of Kulon Progo Regency Yogyakarta. The research method of the study was a descriptive method that has been conducted by a mixed method. The study found that in line with modernization in agriculture, farmers have been using conventional and new electronic media including television, radio and mobile phone with function for getting new information. Conventional electronic media are still dominant while the use of new electronic media has been gradually increasing. Information gathered from ICTs includes social, cultural, economic, health and environmental issues. The use of new electronic media particularly the internet via smartphone has newly started to be utilized among farmers in the coastal farming area who intensively engaged in horticulture crops cultivation mainly for getting and exchange the market information. Information on technological innovation is still dominant among farmers. Better infrastructure and mobility access, improvement of telecommunication network and development of content and format of information provided by new media will be prospective in the future

The ongoing revolution in information and communication technologies (ICTs) has fundamentally transformed the landscape of democracy and the way people engage in politics. From the configuration of media systems to the decision-making of the voting public, the changes have permeated through almost every level of society, affecting political institutions, political actors, citizen groups, and mass media. For each aspect, a synopsis of classical and emergent political communication theories, contemporary and contentious political issues, and cutting-edge research adds to the discussion of new media. The discussion is unfolded with an account of research of new media effects on politics in international setting and cross-cultural contexts with insights of how Western theories and research apply (or fail to) in international contexts.

Traditional Setting

This study examines how information and communication technologies – mobile phone, social networking websites, blogging, instant messaging, and photo sharing – are related to the diversity of people’s social networks. We find that a limited set of technologies directly afford diversity, but many indirectly contribute to diversity by supporting participation in traditional settings such as neighborhoods, voluntary groups, religious institutions, and public spaces. Only one internet activity, social networking websites, was related to lower levels of participation in a traditional setting: neighborhoods. However, when direct effects were included, the total influence of social networking services on diversity was positive. We argue that a focus on affordances of new media for networked individualism fails to recognize the continued importance of place for the organization of personal networks: networks, that as a result of the persistent and pervasive nature of some new technologies, may be more diverse than at any time in recent history.

Abstract:In this article the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs), especially new media technologies such as e-mail and the Internet, by postapartheid South African social movements is explored. Following a discussion of the use of these technologies by activist groupings in international contexts, a typology suggested by Rheingold (2003) is used as a framework for comparing two South African social movements: the Treatment Action Campaign (TAC) and the Anti-Privatization Forum (APF).
