Contrary to widespread rhetoric of deregulation, the media are
objects of increased global policy. Generators of cultural spheres,
within which social consensus is formed, the media are shaped by
national and supranational agencies of questionable legitimacy.
Policy delineates the form and content of global communications
impinging on cultures, discourses and consciousness; yet, citizen
representation in processes of policy-making remains fragmentary.
In this insightful study, the author examines the role of the
European Parliament, as the only international organisation
directly accountable to and elected by citizens, in the formation
of media policy. This critical account of supranational
representation identifies the structural and ideological dynamics
of powers in European media policy. Through detailed examination of
major policies, the author demonstrates the conditions under which
supranational representation can offer a resisting force to
unaccountable global powers, and the ways in which it can
contribute to system transformation and defend communication
spaces.
