The rhetoric surrounding the creation of a 'knowledge-based economy/society' (KBE/S) emphasizes the interrelationship between ICTs (information and communication technologies) in knowledge and economic development and their continued trajectory throughout the next century. What, however, is really meant by the KBE/S agenda, and how are the important social issues surrounding KBE/S, including access, content, and citizenship being dealt with? Using Canada as an example, this discussion will focus on how Canadian federal policymakers are conceptualizing the issues surrounding KBE/S through recent and ongoing policy explorations.
