The article “Considerations on the Significance of the Net and the Netizen” (written by Ronda Hauben) researches the role of netizens as a new social force. The author analyses the situation in South Korea and the blog posts are re-published with Ronda Hauben’s permission in issue 27.

Galina Rousseva-Sokolova in her article “Europe, seen from India” concludes that “…suggestions are made on how to reverse the mirror: how the Indian experience can be profitable to Europe and what Europe would be wise to look for when looking at India”.

Gilles Rouet in his article “Boundaries and identities” looks into the issue of boundaries in a historical and a contemporary perspective and examines how borders, gates and walls influence the formation of identities in a European context.

The main rubric of the issue includes 9 essays written by students from 4 universities.
