The Crisis of the State 189 Notes 211 Index 245 acknowledgments This book represents the culmination of three meandering years exploring the intersection of digital technology and international affairs and is ultimately the product of many people’s work. It began as a lecture and working paper for the Trudeau Foundation in the spring of 2012, and I am appreciative of PG Forest giving me the chance to come back to the Foundation and try out some new ideas on the smartest (and most critical) crowd in Canada. At the time, the ideas presented were nascent, and represented my ini- tial explorations of what I increasingly saw as the profound ways technology was reshaping the international system. This essay became a larger research project funded by a Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council grant called International Relations in the Digital Age, a part- nership between the Canadian International Council and UBC. My friend and colleague Anouk Dey was critical as an RA on both of these initial stages. And my co-PI on the SSHRC research project, partner at the CIC and Open- Canada and close friend Jennifer Jeffs built the project and team with me. We had a great group of UBC journalism students helping out with a wide range of research, includ- ing Sadiya Ansari, Lindsay Sample, Kate Adach, Alexis Beckett, and Alexandra Gibb.
