Beginning with a comparison of several alternate views of the future, Olufs (political science, Pacific Lutheran University) explains how government action makes the widespread use of some new technologies more likely than others. He details the challenges that rapid advances in communications technologies pose for policymaking institutions, and considers the ways that government responds to the ideological, economic, and political interests of industry, private advocacy groups, and individuals. Discusses the recent trend toward deregulation, and analyzes the Telecommunications Act of 1996. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
