Digital foreign policy is an important area of international relations through which states seek to shape the digital transformation in others. It can be studied by examining the different goals, instruments and resources employed in its formation. Based on this approach, an analysis of the digital foreign policies of the United States (US), the Pe...
Western authors fear that Chinese exports of surveillance technologies to Global South countries may lead to reproduction of the problematic surveillance practices that the Chinese state practices within its borders. However, much of this literature is not based on empirically-grounded research. To examine such concerns, we investigated two surveil...
Amidst the transition to the fifth generation of mobile telecommunications (5G), the US has launched a diplomatic campaign to prevent other states from acquiring such technologies from Chinese providers. In reply, China has launched a similar campaign to rebut being perceived as a security threat. However, the outcomes of such influencing campaigns...
This article studies how Argentine national media outlets reported on China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) between 2013 and February 2022 (this covers the period from the launch of the BRI to Argentina's official accession to the initiative). Based on a framing analysis of 272 articles, this study argues that national media outlets tend to reprod...
This article examines three aspects of China’s digital diplomacy efforts about the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) on Twitter between February 9th 2019 to January 3rd 2020. First, it explores the frequency and geographical distribution of tweets about the BRI. Second, it scrutinises the main topics discussed in such tweets. Finally, it describes the...
El artículo propone al concepto de ciberhegemonía como una alternativa al
concepto de ciberpoder. A partir del mismo, se examinan las actividades de
ciberseguridad de la Organización de Estados Americanos (OEA). A juzgar por
el análisis de material primario y secundario, se destaca que la OEA se esta-
bleció como el principal espacio de cooperación...
En el marco de un contexto internacional en transformación, donde las disputas geopolíticas entre grandes potencias se han acentuado, la literatura de Relaciones Internacionales ha prestado creciente atención al rol de la ciencia y la tecnología. La mayoría de esta literatura examina las capacidades de los países centrales en su carrera por dominar...
Este artículo detalla una experiencia realizada en un curso de Introducción a las Relaciones Internacionales impartido en una universidad argentina, donde se incorporaron series de ficción como instrumento pedagógico complementario a las lecturas académicas. El análisis se basa en el trabajo efectuado con series durante todo el curso y en los resul...
Este artículo tiene como objetivo evidenciar que el Sistema Integrado de Seguridad (SIS) ECU 911, implementado en Ecuador, es el resultado de una adecuación socio-técnica, cuyo diseño, implementación y decaimiento han estado influenciados por las alineaciones de política exterior de los distintos gobiernos del país. Se recurre a dos perspectivas te...
This entry reviews the main issues covered in seminal articles and books written in English between 1978-2021 that examine the relation between China and the global politics of telecommunications. The first section synthesizes the literature that studied the specificities of China's telecommunications policy from the reform and opening-up until 200...
Tensions between the US and China have escalated as both powers seek to draw countries into their respective political and economic orbits by financing and constructing infrastructure. Wide-ranging and even-handed, this book offers a fresh interpretation of the territorial logic of US–China rivalry, and explores what it means for countries across E...
Based on Neo-Gramscian perspectives, this chapter examines the strategies of Chinese and U.S. multinational corporations to expand AI and the cloud to Latin America. The main argument is that the spread of these digital technologies will not necessarily usher a new era of abundance nor generate a new condition of dependence, but rather accentuate p...
The rules employed to govern cross-border data flows are in dispute, the outcome of which will certainly affect digitalisation policies in the so-called Global South. Against this backdrop, data localisation has become one of the most prominent and disputed policy measures for states seeking to regulate cross-border data flows. This article argues...
In this paper, we argue that the ongoing processes of datafication and dataism are constraining initiatives to construct open data portals contributing to inter-and transdisciplinary research. The former overvalues quantitative data, whereas the latter reinforces the belief that 'raw data' is neutral and apolitical, ignoring how data is processed....
The proliferation of cyber-surveillance technologies has paved the way to new threats to human rights. European firms are important providers of such technologies to authoritarian regimes, which expose a highly problematic double-speak by the EU’s alleged defence of human rights in cyberspace. In the face of this inconsistency, in 2016, the Europea...
Digitalization is a fundamental vector of data capitalism. It has profound power implications for the public and private actors that are contesting the redefinition of the rules and practices of a global political economy in transition to a data capitalism. These changes are the focus of cyberpolitics, a growing interdisciplinary field that is maki...
The digital Silk Road, which involves the internationalization of Chinese internet firms across countries that are party to the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), has remained underexplored in the literature. This paper employs a poststructuralist discourse theory to analyze one of the most important Chinese internet firms, Alibaba, and its initiative...
Digitalization is a fundamental vector of data capitalism, which is generating profound implications in terms of new forms of power and asymmetries between actors of inter and transnational politics. In International Relations, cyberpolitics studies the consequences of these changes. While there is little research on the subject in Spanish, in Engl...
How can we explain the multiple uses that media organizations make of media technologies across the world? This paper proposes a hybrid conceptual framework that synthesizes ideas from the sociology of knowledge approach to discourse with science & technology studies concepts (i.e., script and technological frame) in order to emphasize the importan...
El estudio del aumento de empresas militares y de seguridad privada, junto con los estudios sobre prácticas de vigilancia electrónica son dos temas de creciente debate en el campo de las relaciones internacionales. Por un lado, la privatización de la seguridad tiene efectos en la seguridad internacional y en la soberanía estatal. Por el otro lado,...
Este artículo argumenta que es posible transformar los senderos de innovación en las industrias basadas en recursos naturales hacia modelos integralmente más sostenibles. En particular, se emplea el marco conceptual de transiciones de sistemas sociotécnicos para comprender los límites estructurales que el sistema de agricultura industrial le impone...
During the last decade, Brazil has experimented with two different cultural policy discourses. The creative economy policy was inspired by international experiences and places emphasis on the commercialisation of culture, while, by contrast, the ‘Cultura Viva’ initiative is an autochthonous policy discourse that stimulates access to the cultural co...
Thirty years after the return to democracy, Argentina and Brazil are still facing challenges to democratize communications. In both countries, a commercial approach to culture and communications prevails, with high rates of ownership concentration in few private firms, irrespective of the negative consequences this has for the existence of a divers...

Beyond the impact that Science, Technology and Innovation (ST&I) have for creating knowledge-based economies, they may also contribute to social and ecological dimensions of development. This would require beneficial ST&I policies to be in place. While authors have studied single ST&I impacts, scientific overviews of the entire range of possible im...
