- Title
Reluctant Power: Networks, Corporations, and the Struggle for Global Governance in the Early 20th Century by Rita Zajácz (review).
- Authors
Wijfjes, Huub
- Abstract
Zajácz begins by summing up this potential power: "Control over global communication networks is central to world leadership." In the telecom network Zajácz describes, control comes from economic and political power "to program" the infrastructural networks. Rita Zajácz makes a good effort in her study of American policies relating to the communication technologies introduced between 1900 and 1935.
