A Perfect World? Risks and Threats in the Information Society

The document provides an approximation to the issue of global systemic risks in the information society and, in particular, those having an impact on critical infrastructures. In order to do this, the experience of mature developed countries is taken into account from the perspective of agencies and authors specialized in these issues. The discussion will allow not only for the comprehension of the risks associated to the development of these infrastructures but also value governance as a participative mechanism for risk management. The result of this work will have useful features as support for decision making and the formulation of domestic and foreign public policies, and especially support the debate being born in Latin America.
