520    As the informational state replaces the bureaucratic 
       welfare state, control over information creation, 
       processing, flows, and use has become the most effective 
       form of power. In Change of State Sandra Braman examines 
       the theoretical and practical ramifications of this 
       "change of state." She looks at the ways in which 
       governments are deliberate, explicit, and consistent in 
       their use of information policy to exercise power, 
       exploring not only such familiar topics as intellectual 
       property rights and privacy but also areas in which policy
       is highly effective but little understood. Such lesser-
       known issues include hybrid citizenship, the use of 
       "functionally equivalent borders" internally to allow 
       exceptions to U.S. law, research funding, census methods, 
       and network interconnection. Trends in information policy,
       argues Braman, both manifest and trigger change in the 
       nature of governance itself.After laying the theoretical, 
       conceptual, and historical foundations for understanding 
       the informational state, Braman examines 20 information 
       policy principles found in the U.S Constitution. She then 
       explores the effects of U.S. information policy on the 
       identity, structure, borders, and change processes of the 
       state itself and on the individuals, communities, and 
       organizations that make up the state. Looking across the 
       breadth of the legal system, she presents current law as 
       well as trends in and consequences of several information 
       policy issues in each category affected.Change of State 
       introduces information policy on two levels, coupling 
       discussions of specific contemporary problems with more 
       abstract analysis drawing on social theory and empirical 
       research as well as law. Most important, the book provides
       a way of understanding how information policy brings about
       the fundamental social changes that come with the 
       transformation to the informational state.
