CALL FOR CHAPTERS Submission Deadline: *extended to June 20, 2005* Information Technology Ethics: Cultural Perspectives A book edited by Dr. Soraj Hongladarom, Chulalongkorn University, Thailand and Prof. Charles Ess, Drury University, USA Introduction Despite the profound disparities of various digital divides, information and communication technologies (ICTs) and their products continue their dramatic expansion throughout the entire world. Both the global reach of the Internet and the forces of globalization more broadly are increasingly expanding the use of ICTs in non-Western countries - so much so, for example, that there are now as many users of the Internet in Asia and the Pacific Rim countries as in North America. Nonetheless, discussions of and scholarship devoted to Information Ethics in non-western countries are comparatively recent; likewise, discussions of and scholarship devoted to cross-cultural approaches to Information Ethics, especially across East-West boundaries, are only in their beginning stages. Hence, there is an urgent need for investigations into what the non-Western intellectual traditions have to say on the various issues in information ethics.
