“…We suggest that these cultural changes are perhaps one of the most important aspects of the use of ICT in a global context. Our study adds to the growing body of literature on the development, use and impact of ICT in developing countries (Avgerou, 1990;Bhatnagar and Bjorn-Anderson, 1990;Cain, 1996;Mundy, 1996).…”

Many researchers agree that information and communications technologies are deeply implicated in the process of globalization. There is much less agreement, however, on what globalization means in particular situations and contexts. This paper places the development of a specific information system in a Third World country within the context of neo-colonialism and postcolonialism. It shows how the implementation of an integrated software package, developed by United Nations Conference on Trade and Development, imposed its own cultural logic on the Maldives Customs Service. This paper can be seen as one response to the call to study particular individuals, groups, organizations, or societies in detail, and in the context of globalization.

“…In a region like South Asia, where resources are limited, efficient utilization and better management of available resources becomes even more crucial. This fact is also acknowledged by many donor agencies, such as World Bank, UNDP, and UNESCO that view ICTs as a means to achieve more transparency and better data management that will contribute to better service provision [62,96]. Some of the factors that contribute towards the successful implementation of ICT based COP are depicted in Figure 2.…”

Community-oriented policing (COP) as a model has found widespread acceptance throughout the world both in developed and developing countries. Similarly, Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) have been embraced by many developed countries to augment COP initiatives. However, very little is known about the application of ICTs in COP in developing countries, particularly South Asia. In this article, we review the current ICT-based COP initiatives by focusing on some of the selected projects from developed countries and South Asia. The paper has used COP in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) province of Pakistan as a case. While meaningful insights can be derived through learning from the experiences of developed countries, we highlight some major issues and challenges that are likely to be faced while implementing ICT based COP in South Asia. Moreover, we provide an overview of some exciting opportunities that arise as a result of embracing ICTs to enhance COP efforts for building trusting community-police relations and hence improving human security in the region.
