>Topic: Information Society and Glocalization: What¡¦s Next?
>
>
>
>Digital technology and information systems have greatly changed the facets 
>of media and communication practices of our time. Interactions between the 
>global and the local have led to new dynamics between communication 
>development and social changes. The emergence of the digital revolution 
>and the information society has led to a need to re-examine the existing 
>media and communication theories. How will this new form of global/local 
>interactions and dynamics develop? What¡¦s the next trajectory of its 
>development? What dimensions of study could contribute to the 
>understanding of the future development of the information society? These 
>questions are intertwined with the concept of ¡§Glocalization¡¨ and can be 
>explored from many aspects in media and communication research.
