Most current analysis on Latin American politics has been directed at examining the shift to the left in the region.

The globalization of social, cultural and economic relations is facilitated, and at the same time conditioned by developments in the information and communications technologies (ICT) and infrastructure. Human knowledge brought mankind from an oral to a literate culture, thanks to the invention of print media. The development of the electronic media in the 20th century paved the way for the information age, in which spatial and temporal constraints are lifted.

The text is part of a series of volumes arising from the intellectual work of ECCR members.
