SUMMARY:“Universalizing Broadband: State Legitimation and Policy-Making in China
and India” with Krishna Jayakar
DESCRIPTION:\nUniversalizing access to telecommunications and broadband
has been a priority for nations around the world. Developing countries t
oo sought to achieve this goal\, despite limited finances and technical
difficulties. This presentation will discuss how two leading Asian natio
ns\, China and India\, have implemented universal broadband programs. De
spite similarities in objectives and economic circumstances\, the experi
ences of the two countries present some surprising differences. Based on
excerpts from their recently published book\, Making Policy for the New
Information Economy (Routledge\, 2023)\, Krishna Jayakar and Chun Liu a
rgue that national experiences with large scale techno-social programs s
uch as universal broadband are indicative of civilizational patterns and
deeply ingrained socio-political tendencies. Jayakar’s presentation wil
l discuss these patterns and their relevance of policy theory and policy
making in Asia and elsewhere.\n\nFor more details: https://events.la.psu
