  1. Cybernetic Pluralism in an Emerging Global Information and Computing Ethics.Charles Ess - 2007 - International Review of Information Ethics 7:09.
    I trace the development of an emerging global Information and Computing Ethics , arguing that ethical pluralism – as found in both Western and Asian traditions – is crucial to such an ICE.

  • The joy of sharing knowledge: But what if there is no knowledge to share? A critical reflection on human capacity building in Africa.Johannes J. Britz - 2007 - International Review of Information Ethics 7:18-28.
    This article focuses on the current trends and initiatives in human capacity building in Africa. It takes as it starting point that human capacity development is essential for Africa to become an information and know-ledge society and therefore an equal partner in the global sharing of knowledge. Four knowledge areas are identified and discussed. These are education, research and development, brain drain and information and documentation drain. The paper concludes that there is a clear understanding in Africa that its future (...)
