The Handbook of Global Media and Communication Policy

Beschreibung

The Handbook of Global Media and Communication Policy offers insights into the boundaries of this field of study, assesses why it is important, who is affected, and with what political, economic, social and cultural consequences. Contributors draw on theory and empirical research to offer multiple perspectives on the local, national, regional and global forums in which policy debate occurs. Policy is understood as an emergent process, informed by historical context, power dynamics, and local/global interdependencies. The structures and rhythms of change in the press, broadcasting, telecommunication, and the Internet are shown to alter the role and positioning of the neo-liberal state, resulting in tensions between the private and public spheres and implications for developments in the West and elsewhere.
