James Der Derian, Watson Institute for International Studies, Brown University. From the "CNN effect" to the "YouTube effect," and as the production of terror becomes inextricable from the consumption of information, global media has become not only the transmitter but the trigger of international crises. James Der Derian is author of "On Diplomacy: A Genealogy of Western Estrangement" and "Antidiplomacy: Spies, Terror, Speed, and War", editor of "International Theory: Critical Investigations" and "The Virilio Reader", and co-editor of "International/Intertextual Relations: Postmodern Readings of World Politics". His articles on international relations have appeared in the "Review of International Studies" and "International Studies Quarterly," among others. His articles on war, technology and the media have appeared in the "New York Times," "Nation," "Washington Quarterly" and "Wired." His most recent book is "Virtuous War: Mapping the Military-Industrial-Media-Entertainment Network". The John and Eileen Marrett Memorial Fund was established by the Marrett family to promote understanding of political violence and terrorism.
