The Internet in China
This book aims to identify the most important political, socio-economic, and technical determinants of Internet development in China, through a historical approach that combines political economy, cultural, and public studies. Firstly, the book looks at the most important strategies that compelled the Chinese government to invest in the construction of the Internet infrastructure. Secondly, it examines the relationships between the development of the Internet in China and the emergence of a nascent civil society. Finally, attention is given to three different Chinese online platforms in three different historical periods. This three-pronged approach presents a coherent set of analyses and case studies which are committed to the investigation of the complex process of change undergone by Internet development in China.

Electronic Disability Claims Processing
Through an initiative known as AeDib, the Social Security Admin. (SSA) is implementing a system in which medical images & other documents that have traditionally been kept in paper folders will be stored in electronic folders, enabling disability offices -- incl. SSA's 144 Office of Hearings & Appeals sites & 54 state disabil. determination serv. -- to process disabil. claims electronically. This initiative supports a program that, in 2004, made payments of $113 billion to 14 million beneficiaries & their families. In 2004, it was recommended that SSA take steps to ensure the successful implementation of the electronic disabil. system. This report assesses SSA's status in implementing AeDib & the actions the agency has taken in response to prior recommend.
