This book explores the interconnected ways in which the control of knowledge has become central to the exercise of political, economic, and social power. Building on the work of International Political Economy scholar Susan Strange, this multidisciplinary volume features experts from political science, anthropology, law, criminology, womens and gender studies, and Science and Technology Studies, who consider how the control of knowledge is shaping our everyday lives. From weaponised copyright as a censorship tool, to the battle over control of the internets guts, to the effects of state surveillance at the MexicoU.S. border, this book offers a coherent way to understand the nature of power in the twenty-first century.
