The summer school on the Political Economy of Information and
Communication Technologies (ICT) is a PhD course focusing on the
interplay between technology developments and policy and regulation and
market and economic developments in the ICT area. This year’s event is
the 10th summer school on the Political Economy of ICT with previous
summer schools featuring topics concerning Internet, media, mobile
communications, social networks, etc.
AIM OF THE SUMMER SCHOOL
The aim of the course is to refine the level of knowledge of the
participating Ph.D. students on the economic and political structures
and mechanisms affecting technology development in the information and
communication technology (ICT) area. It also considers the impact of
implementation and application of ICTs on the economy and broader social
developments. It is a course in the political economy of technology
development with a disciplinary point of departure in economics and
social science. This theme is explored at a company (micro), sectoral
(meso) and/or societal (macro) level. This will depend on the specific
topics chosen in the course. The course targets Ph.D. students with a
technology background combined with an economics and/or social science
approach and students with an economics and /or social science
background focusing on technology development.
SPECIFIC TOPIC OF 2016
The topic of 2016 is ICT for Development (ICT4D). Focus will be on how
applications of ICT can contribute to social, economic and political
developments in general and especially in economically poorer countries
and regions and on how the social, economic and political environment
environments condition technology developments in the ICT area. Much
research has emphasized the positive prospects of ICT4D, but with ICTs
and especially mobile communications already having a relatively wide
penetration in many developing areas it is also time to look at the
actual impacts. The summer school will have focus on discussions on
prospects, conditions and impacts relating to ICT developments in terms
of broader social as well as economic and market developments. This
includes micro cases and developments at a larger scale, and it includes
applications and content as well as infrastructure aspects.
