A MULTIDISCIPLINARY VIEW OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AS IT IS USED BY GOVERNMENTS AND CRIMINAL ORGANIZATIONS ALIKE.

Bombs and Bandwidth, a project of the Social Science Research Council, assembles leading scholars in a range of disciplines to explore the new nature of IT-related threats, the new power structures emerging around IT, and the ethical and political implications arising from this complex and important field.
