Summary This book explores how globalization and ubiquity of digital technology combine to create specific global impacts, challenges and opportunities. Although globalization is already associated with the speeding up of interactions and change, digital globalization is characterized by immediacy. The utter pervasiveness opens new global vulnerabilities at international, national, social and personal levels. The Digital Global Condition examines the nature of digital globalization, enabling us to not only inhabit a digital world, but also to understand it, even to live well in it. Elizabeth Kath is a Senior Lecturer in Global Studies at RMIT University, Australia. Thematically, she is interested in how people traverse boundaries of difference in the global era, including theories of migration, intercultural communication, reconciliation, and social inclusion/exclusion. Regionally, she specialises in Latin America and the Caribbean. She is the editor of Australian-Latin American Relations: New Links in A Changing Global Landscape (Palgrave Macmillan, 2016). Julian C. H. Lee is an Associate Professor in Global Studies at RMIT University, Australia. He is the author and co-author of several books including Monsters of Modernity: Global Icons for our Critical Condition (2019) and editor of several volumes including Narratives of Globalization: Reflections on the Global Condition (2016). Aiden Warren is Professor in Politics and International Relations at RMIT University, Australia. His teaching and research interests are in the areas of international security, US national security and foreign policy, US politics, great power politics, issues associated with weapons of mass destruction (WMD) proliferation, non-proliferation, arms control, and emerging technologies. He is the co-author of US Foreign Policy and China (2021), Understanding Presidential Doctrines (2022), and editor of Global Security in an Age of Crisis (2023).
