This book examines the internet as a form of power in global politics. Focusing on the United States' internet foreign policy, McCarthy combines analyses of global material culture and international relation theory, to reconsider how technology is understood as a form of social power.

Daniel R. McCarthy is Lecturer in International Relations at the University of Melbourne, Australia. He has previously taught at Aberystwyth University, the University of Sussex, and the London School of Economics.
