Media, Development, and Institutional Change investigates mass
media's profound ability to affect institutional change and
economic development. The authors use the tools of economics to
illuminate the media's role in enabling and inhibiting
political-economic reforms that promote development. The book
explores how media can constrain government, how governments
manipulate media to entrench their power, and how private and
public media ownership affects a country's ability to prosper. The
authors identify specific media-related policies governments of
underdeveloped countries should adopt if they want to grow. They
illustrate why media freedom is a critical ingredient in the recipe
of economic development and why even the best-intentioned state
involvement in media is more likely to slow prosperity than to
enhance it. Scholars and students of economics, political science
and sociology; policy-makers, analysts and others in the
development community; and academics in media studies will find
this book insightful and provocative.
