Routledge - The Political Economy of Digital Ecosystems Book

Explore the future of digital landscapes with The Political Economy of Digital Ecosystems: Scenario Planning for Alternative Futures. Published as part of the Routledge Studies in the Economics of Innovation, this book provides a deep look into how economic, political, and social contexts shape digital development on global, national, and local levels. By connecting political economy perspectives with scenario planning, this work helps readers map out different trajectories for digital ecosystems. It addresses a common problem in modern forecasting: the lack of imagination and the presence of confirmation bias that often limits our view of what is possible. Instead of following predictable paths, this book uses a diverse range of political economy approaches to help you envision and prepare for alternative futures. This text is an essential resource for anyone looking to understand the complex forces driving digital change. It moves beyond simple predictions to offer a framework for thinking about how digital ecosystems function within broader societal structures.
