Examines the development of knowledge-based economies; includes geography, access (including for developing countries), uneven development across different activity sectors, intellectual property rights, privatization, confidence, memory, and fragmentation of knowledge; 11 articles. Includes a theoretical framework to distinguish knowledge from information, and the impact of medical and genetic research and the Internet.

The article studies peculiarities of development of modern university system of production and spreading of knowledge. There is given comparative analysis of historic types of university:
prior to classical (Medieval Ages), classical 'Gumboltd's' (New Age) and post classical university (XX – early XXI century). There is enlightened a tendency to bifurcation of post classical
university into mass and elite university with a perspective of turning both of them into a capitalistic enterprise.

Analyses the relations between the terms knowledge, information, data, uncertainty, ignorance, and risk, and discusses the sense in which a society can be characterised by one of them. The role of uncertainty and risk in modern society is further examined. An explanation is offered why it need not be contradictory to describe present-day societies as both knowledge societies and societies characterised by risk or uncertainty. (Original abstract - amended)

Modern industrialized societies have been described both as knowledge societies & as risk societies. The article analyzes relations between the terms knowledge, information, data, uncertainty, ignorance, & risk, & discusses the sense in which a society can be characterized by one of them. The role of uncertainty & risk in modern society is further examined. An explanation is offered why it need not be contradictory to describe present-day societies as both knowledge societies & societies characterized by risk or uncertainty. 3 Figures, 10 References.
