The Political Economy of Digital Ecosystems: Scenario Planning for Alternative Futures

Explores alternative futures for global digital ecosystems. It discusses how economic, political and social developments will shape them, as well as how these constantly evolving ecosystems shape the socio-economic context. It is distinctive because the author employs the concept of global digital ecosystems rather than the digital economy.
