WHAT GLOBALIZATION MEANS FOR EAST ASIA 17 Democratization is also a factor in mediating the impact on political governance of disruptive technologies like the Internet. Like Perkins, Richard Rose is not sanguine about the prospects for rapid political change driven by advances in information and communications technology (ICT) and the potential of e-governance. In chapter 8, “Governance and the Internet,” Rose argues that the effects of the Internet on political governance depend on the existing state of openness, accountability, and bureaucratic preparedness for the effective use of IT and the rule of law within a country.
