Sviluppo umano e nuove tecnologie della comunicazione

Abstract

Come è noto, negli ultimi anni il concetto di sviluppo umano ha subito una profonda revisione teorica: l’attenzione prevalente (e quasi esclusiva) a fenomeni e indicatori di tipo economico ha lasciato il posto ad un approccio più ampio interessato ad indagare i condizionamenti reciproci tra fenomeni economici, demografici, ambientali e culturali. Alla luce di questo decisivo processo di revisione concettuale, il ruolo che viene oggi assegnato alle nuove tecnologie della comunicazione rispetto agli obiettivi di sviluppo umano differisce da quello che esse rivestivano nel passato ? Se si, perché ? E in che misura ? Sono questi gli interrogativi ai quali il presente lavoro, nella sua parte iniziale, intende rispondere. Seguirà una verifica critica di alcuni luoghi comuni relativi ai ritardi nella diffusione delle nuove tecnologie dell’informazione nei paesi in via di sviluppo ; infine, si commenteranno, con particolare riferimento ai paesi della riva sud del Mediterraneo, i risultati del Rapporto 2001 delle Nazioni Unite sullo sviluppo umano, che, a riprova delle profonde relazioni che legano oggi lo sviluppo umano e le nuove tecnologie dell’informazione, introduce un indicatore specifico denominato “indice di progresso tecnologico”.

As is known, in recent years the concept of human development has undergone a profound theoretical revision: attention prevalent (and almost exclusively) to phenomena and economic indicators has given way to a broader approach interested in investigating the mutual conditioning between economic phenomena, demographic, environmental and cultural. In light of this decisive conceptual review process, is the role now assigned to the new communication technologies to the objectives of human development different from what they once covered in the past? If so, why? And to what extent? These are the questions to which this work, in its initial part, intends to answer. Followed by a critical examination of some clichés related to delays in the spread of new information technologies in developing countries. Finally, we will comment, with particular reference to the countries of the southern Mediterranean, the results of the 2001 Report of the United Nations Human Development, which, as proof of the deep relationships that link human development today and the new information technologies, introduces a specific indicator called "index of technological progress."
