Question and answer for my course

Course name: International Digital Political Economy.

Course Description: Digital technologies and changing attitudes toward surveillance and the commodification of knowledge has made the control of knowledge an increasingly central aspect of the exercise of power and wealth creation in the global political economy. In this seminar, we will examine the theoretical underpinnings of what Susan Strange calls the “knowledge structure,” and how the control of knowledge is increasingly shaping our lives. This course will be based primarily around the discussion of key texts and articles that focus on specific parts of the global knowledge economy

Question 1(‘Use the taking knowledge seriously’ pdf and ‘what is knowledge’ pdf for this question):1. Describe the knowledge structure. In your answer, define the knowledge structure, drawing on the theoretical framework used and developed in class, and refer to all of the main books covered in this course (for the weeks where we relied on journal articles or other documents, your answer should draw on these as well). Your answer should include the key actors (dominant and challengers), organizations, and institutions, as well as the dominant and oppositional policy tendencies (i.e., the views/ideas of challengers). Include also a discussion of the relative importance/power of state and non-state actors. This question is worth 60% of your exam grade.

Question 2 (you can use all the other pdfs I uploaded, Theyre all about Intellectual Property) : Outline and discuss two policy challenges covered in class and/or in the course materials. What are the issues at stake? What recommendations can you make in these areas? What principles should be applied to address the problem(s)? This question is worth 30% of your exam grade.
