James (development economics, Tilburg U., The Netherlands) addresses the way globalization is dependent on information technology, both in the international realm and in distributional relations between individuals and firms within certain countries. He discusses the mechanisms through which information technologies promote a greater degree of global economic interdependence while noting a highly unequal distribution of the gains from the globalization that such technologies induce.
