Information Technology and Development: A New Paradigm for Delivering the Internet to Rural Areas in Developing Countries

Attempts to bring the benefits of information technology in the form of the internet to developing countries have, to date, foundered on the belief that this requires the beneficiaries to access the technology directly. As a result, the perceived staggering benefits of such an enterprise have often failed to materialize.

This original contribution to the debate on developing countries and IT suggests that the benefits of the internet can be passed on via an intermediary. That is, what matters is not the internet itself, rather its ability to provide information that can be made relevant and useful locally. Intermediaries are arguably more likely to provide such information and hence more likely to promote what Armartya Sen called individual "functionings", for example the ability to be free of illness.

Jeffrey James is an impressive servant to the discipline of development studies, here he brings together twenty previously fragmented literatures to break new ground in internet intermediation. Information Technology and Development will interest development economists and practitioners in equal amounts.
