Dr. Dorothea Kleine

Dr. Dorothea Kleine ist Senior Lecturer am Royal Holloway College der Universität London.
Sie ist Leiterin des ICT4D Centres (für Forschung im Bereich Informations- und Kommunikationstechnologie in Zusammenhang mit Entwicklung) and arbeitet am UNESCO Chair in ICT4D. Sie is Fellow der Royal Geographical Society und Mitglied der IGU Commission on the Geography of the Global Information Society. Sie versteht Entwicklung als nachhaltige Entwicklung, die ökologische, soziale und ökonomische Aspekte zu verbinden sucht. Im Zusammenhang mit IKT und Globalisierung interessieren sie Grundsatzfragen, z.B. Gerechtigkeit des Zugangs zu Information, lokale nachhaltige Wirtschaftsentwicklung, die Rolle von Public-Private Partnerships, Gender und Technologie, und Wahlfreiheit in der Technologienutzung. Forschungsprojekte in Europa und Lateinamerika  liegen im Bereich e-business, e-procurement und e-government. Ihr zweites Buch in diesem Bereich, Technologies of Choice? ICTs, human development and the capabilities approach (MIT Press) wird im Herbst 2012 erscheinen.
