Jonathan Woodier's latest work considers what impact the media has
upon the democratization process in Southeast Asia. Has the media
had a liberalizing effect or become subject to elite control in
Southeast Asia and, if so, why? What role does the global media
play in this process, particularly given its conglomerization and
commoditization? By examining the communications media and its
relationship to political change in Southeast Asia, this
fascinating study will endeavour to provide both a regional
comparative analysis and a more balanced interpretation of the mass
communication media in the wake of September 11, 2001. The book
also investigates the durability of authoritarian regimes and the
enduring capacity of the media-controlled state alongside the
growing sophistication of political communications - particularly
the use of PR consultants. The author provides an insider's view
with unique insights into the practice of political communication
and its development throughout the strategically important region
of Southeast Asia with its large Moslem states as well as much
further afield to countries such as China and post-industrial
Europe. As such the book will be warmly welcomed by academics of
politics, international relations, media, communications and PR. It
will also appeal to researchers interested in political change, the
rise of the global media giants and the influence of authoritarian
states such as China.
