ITTA article on the future of European Security published in Fall 2001 edition of Mediterranean Quarterly

Dr. Constantine Pagedas, Executive Vice President, contributed an article entitled "Post-Ismay Europe: Britain and the Rebalance of European Security" in the Fall 2001 edition of Mediterranean Quarterly.  In this article Dr. Pagedas provides a brief overview of the evolving transatlantic security environment.

Overall, Dr. Pagedas argues that the UK government's successful rebalance of the Anglo-America special relationship and its opening of a relationship with France since December 1998 represents a major departure from the previous security relationships of the Cold War.  The confluence of British and French foreign and defense policies has helped to create a transatlantic environment that can bridge the competing Anglo-America and continental visions of European security.  

Dr. Pagedas is also the author of several books of the subject of transatlantic security.  These works include "Anglo-American Strategic Relations and the French Problem, 1960-1963: A Troubled Partnership" (London: Frank Cass, 2000) and of "Personalities, War & Diplomacy: Essays in International History" (London: Frank Cass, 1997).

United States Internet Council and ITTA Inc. release the 2001 edition of the State of the Internet Report

The United States Internet Council, in cooperation with International Technology and Trade Associates, released the 2001 State of the Internet Report on November 12, 2001 at the National Press Club in Washington D.C. This is the third annual survey in a series that examines the growth of the Internet and explores key legal, business, and social trends in the online world.

The Internet continued to grow at a very rapid pace and surpassed a half-billion online users in 2001. In fact, the Internet is growing so rapidly that the architecture of the Internet is being compelled to reshape itself with a new IP structure and new Top Level and multilingual domains. The dot-com slowdown requires that online businesses reorganize structures and strategies to "right size" their operations for the new economy. In 2001, e-commerce continued to grow and online business became more mainstream. The 2001 report is divided into six main sections.
