- Summary:
- In parallel with the internationalization of the economy and modern communication systems, we are seeing the development of new regimes of mobility and immobility that are characterized by ever-greater internal conflicts. The rapid development of sophisticated communication technology is actually facilitating a further increase in physical mobility, motorized and otherwise. Increased remote contact is in fact stimulating the desire for physical meetings. This cahier investigates how the various segments of this new mobility regime operate. To what extent can this regime still be guided or influenced? Are there options for a 'radical redesign'? Is the dynamism ultimately determined by economics alone? Is a 'crash' the necessary end stage of the current mobility regime?
