This volume investigates media and communications policy and provides a comprehensive account of issues that are central to the study of the field. It addresses profound gaps in the study of policy by demonstrating the centrality of historical, social and political context in debates that may appear solely technical or bound by geography. The book covers the institutional changes in the communication policy arena by examining the changing role of the state, technology and the market and the role of civil society in the process of global governance. It discusses the development of policy areas in broadcasting, telecommunications and the information society, and examines the often-overlooked normative dimensions of communications policy.
