National broadcasting and press regulation is undergoing a process
of convergence in Europe. This book, newly available in paperback,
explains how this process has been shaped by the actions of the
European Union (EU) institutions. Alison Harcourt observes that
whilst communications is one of the EU's most successful policy
areas, European decision-making is eroding the national capacity to
regulate for the public interest. European-level efforts to protect
public interest goals have been constrained by the European
Treaties. The author argues that increased European coordination in
public interest regulation could be more conducive to growth and
competitiveness than the dismantling of existing national laws.
This, however, would require changes to the political composition
of the European Union. This book assesses the potential EU media
regulation provides for market growth and the protection of media
pluralism, the citizen and ultimately democracy itself. These
opportunities are presented in the coming decade with the
developing European Constitution, EU enlargement, and the
implementation and revision of European regulation. -- .
