EA presents: Cyberspace and the State: Controlling Information in China, North Korea and South Korea

China’s government has increased its control of the Internet, North Korea has strict limits on information, and there is growing censorship in South Korea. What are the reasons for these three different states to manage, monitor, and censor information?  How does it work and is it effective?  What are the implications of controlling information for politics, economics, and society?  Please join us for a discussion of these issues with four SU faculty members.
