Abstract
It is now time to reflect upon the major themes as referred to in the title of the conference and this publication: ‘Computers and networks in the age of globalization’. In retrospect this was a very large question to address — possibly too large. Who could be the subject or subjects who could know such things and adequately address a question of this size? Nevertheless, the papers assembled here do address specific aspects of this issue and they have advanced the debate. But advancing the debate has both a positive and a negative side: on the positive side it represents a kind of progress, while on the negative side it exposes some hidden shortcomings.
