knowledge production and globalization mediated through information and
communication technology (ICT). The first part deals with the current trend
and development in knowledge production around the world by examining
how globalisation has affected patterns of knowledge production in three key
aspects of knowledge system, namely, epistemology, ontology and methodology.
The second part of the essay examines the nature of contradictions generated
by the presence of ICT and globalization in knowledge production such
as the ‘dividedness’ that has been generated by the existence of “nation-states”.
The experience of the Southeast Asian region is presented as a case study. The
final part of the essay touches on the issue of access and equity as well as
democratization of knowledge in the context of ICT, globalization and knowledge
