Regional Preparatory Ministerial Conference of Latin America and the Caribbean for the World Summit on the Information Society (2003 : Bávaro, Punta Cana, Dominican Republic)

This publication studies the way information technology can be used to achieve broader developmental goals and integrate the region into the global information society. It addresses three main questions: what kind of information society is desirable; what are the specific regional traits of the move towards an information society; what policies are needed to support the transition. The book also contains the text of the Bavaro Declaration, which lays out some guiding principles.
