dc.description	The book consists of nine chapters. Following the introductory Chapter 1, Chapter 2 delineates ICT-D as a development paradigm by putting forth two perspectives on ICTs and Development. The dominant perspective espouses the ICTs for Development by propounding the deployment of new technologies for spurring economic growth, facilitating governance reforms and enabling human development. And the critical perspective calls for examining ICT-D within the prevailing political economy of the development by questioning ‘who benefits’. Together, these two perspectives aid in identifying the factors driving the deployment of ICTs for development in general and telecentres in particular.
