| Summary: | The conception of ‘world information strategy for the future’ that is proposed in this paper assumes the ascendancy of the non-Western world in the context of an information infrastructure that has so far been Western oriented. The strategy advanced here is neither to imitate nor to criticize that infrastructure; rather, it is to repurpose it for non-Western ends. This paper divides the strategy into three parts: (1) the globalization of English (i.e., the dominance of non-native over native speakers); (2) undiscovered public knowledge (i.e., the vast number of academic publications that are underutilized); and (3) precipitatory governance (i.e., innovation for a world where current default settings of information flows are bound to change). |
