“…In the immediate future, these issues will include environmental and other consequences of climate change and health viruses/ zoonoses. They will also extend to myriad computer viruses and cybercrime (Kshetri, 2013). Given the new attention to the energy/food/land/water nexus, some suggest that we may be running out of basic commodities like energy (Klare, 2012) and water let alone rare-earth elements.…”

2015 is a symbolic turning point for "development" as eight UN MDGs are superseded by even more SDGs with a focus on global partnerships. This paper exploits the "post-2015" mantra to ask whether the rise of the BRICS and myriad non-state actors/ coalitions, let alone the difficulties of the PIIGS in the Eurozone, suggests that "development" has become passé: Does the rise of "emerging" economies/powers in the current decade mean that we need another paradigm, such as "global governance" along with "new regionalisms"? This overview seeks to identify some of the parameters of international relations/organization/law/political economy for the embryonic Palgrave Communications

“…En cuanto al fenómeno que es objeto de estudio en mi trabajo, la situación era aún peor, Europa del Este aparecía en estudios sobre aspectos legales y económicos pero simplemente como La Meca de la piratería o una plaga que necesita ser exterminada (e.g., Bakardjieva, 2005;Cosovanu, 2006;Kshetri, 2013;Sáez, 2004) .…”

Resumen Palabras clave Etnografía Intercambio de archivos Comunidades online Redes socialesEste texto es un resumen de mi tesis doctoral en que intento mostrar algunos puntos clave del estudio. He optado por comentar de manera muy concisa las motivaciones que me han llevado a realizar el estudio en Bulgaria pero también mi inspiración metodológica y el trabajo de campo que he realizado. Aquí, introduzco también los tres principales actores en la red construida como resultado del trabajo etnográfico: Proveedores de Internet, Páginas torrent y Páginas de subtítulos. Abstract Keywords Ethnography File Sharing Online Communities Social NetworksThis text is a summary of my dissertation where I try to show some key points of the study. I chose to discuss very concisely the motivations that have led me to conduct the study in Bulgaria but also my methodological inspiration and the fieldwork I have done. Here, I also introduce the three main actors in the network of relations, constructed as a result of the ethnographic study: Internet Providers, Torrents Trackers and Subtitling pages. La industria dicta cuándo, dónde y cómo vamos a acceder al "conocimiento" pero esta posición hegemónica se ve amenazada por la llegada hace dos décadas de Napster que aportó a los consumidores mayor elección para acceder a la música a su conveniencia y a un precio que estaban dispuestos a pagar (Poblocki, 2001). Napster fue el precedente de un modelo de circulación desde abajo que alteró las "maneras tradicionales" de la industria que habían existido desde hace décadas, estableciendo las reglas de distribución, acceso y uso de artefactos culturales. Estos cambios resultaron en la eliminación de muchos jugadores, proceso llamado "desintermediación". Así mismo, las actividades de intercambio de archivos son un desafío muy serio para las relaciones de poder y las jerarquías, a través de unas formas de participación, nunca vistas antes (Vandersen, 2012).

“…By all accounts, the global cybercrime industry is much bigger than most of the major and well-known underground and underworld industries such as illegal drugs trade and human trafficking [1]. Unsurprisingly, various metrics, measures and statistics have been developed and used to characterize the pervasiveness and severity of cybercrimes.…”

Abstract:With an increasing pervasiveness, prevalence and severity of cybercrimes, various metrics, measures and statistics have been developed and used to measure various aspects of this phenomenon. Cybercrime-related data, metrics, and information, however, pose important and difficult dilemmas regarding the issues of reliability, validity, comparability and practical utility. While many of the issues of the cybercrime economy are similar to other underground and underworld industries, this economy also has various unique aspects. For one thing, this industry also suffers from a problem partly rooted in the incredibly broad definition of the term "cybercrime". This article seeks to provide insights and analysis into this phenomenon, which is expected to advance our understanding into cybercrime-related information.
