In this comprehensive volume, leading scholars of media and
communication examine the nexus of globalization, digital media,
and popular culture in the early 21st century. The book begins by
interrogating globalization as a critical and intensely contested
concept, and proceeds to explore how digital media have influenced
a complex set of globalization processes in broad international and
comparative contexts. Contributors address a number of key
political, economic, cultural, and technological issues relative to
globalization, such as free trade agreements, cultural imperialism,
heterogeneity, the increasing dominance of American digital media
in global cultural markets, the powers of the nation-state, and
global corporate media ownership. By extension, readers are
introduced to core theoretical concepts and practical ideas, which
they can apply to a broad range of contemporary media policies,
practices, movements, and technologies in different geographic
regions of the world-North America, Europe, Africa, the Middle
East, Latin America, and Asia. Scholars of global media,
international communication, media industries, globalization, and
popular culture will find this to be a singular resource for
understanding the interconnected relationship between digital media
and globalization.
