The globalization of media industries that began during the
1980s and 1990s occurred at the same time as the establishment of
or return to democratic forms of government in many Latin American
countries. In this volume of specially commissioned essays,
thirteen well-known media experts examine how the intersection of
globalization and democratization has transformed media systems and
policies throughout Latin America.
Following an extensive overview by editors Elizabeth Fox and
Silvio Waisbord, the contributors investigate the interaction of
local politics and global media in individual Latin American
countries. Some of the issues they discuss include the
privatization and liberalization of the media, the rise of media
conglomerates, the impact of trade agreements on media industries,
the role of the state, the mediazation of politics, the state of
public television, and the role of domestic and global forces. The
contributors address these topics with a variety of theoretical
approaches, combining institutional, historical, economic, and
legal perspectives.
