- Abstract
-
However, the impact of the Internet and new technologies on locally concentrated networked production systems or clusters has been interpreted in various ways (see also Virani, this volume). While some argue that it helps primarily to reinforce the local networks (Hauge and Hracs 2010), others argue instead that it strengthens global connections (van Heur 2009). In world music specifically, the effect of the digital revolution on production has been downplayed, because of the costs and unequal distribution of technologies in the world, which means that music production, distribution, and exchange is concentrated among the wealthiest sections of society (Manuel 2013).
