This collection covers the major trends of the media environment of
the post-Communist world and their recent development, with special
focus on Russia and the post-Soviet space. The term 'media
environment' covers not just traditional print and electronic
media, but new media as well, and ranges from the political to
entertainment and various artistic spheres. What role do market
forces play in the process of media democratization, and how do
state structures regulate, suppress, or use capitalism toward their
own gain? What degree of informational pluralism has been achieved
in the newly independent republics? What are the prospects for
transparency and the participation of civil society in Russian and
Eurasian media? To what degree do trends in post-Communist media
reflect global trends? Is there a worldwide convergence with regard
to both media formats and political messaging? Western observers
usually pay their keenest attention to the role of media in Russia
and Eurasia during national elections. While this is a valid focus,
the present volume, with contributions by Luca Anceschi, Jonathan
Becker, Lee B. Becker, Michael Cecire, Marta Dyczok, Nicola Ying
Fry, Navbahor Imamova, Azamat Junisbai, Barbara Junisbai, Kornely
Kakachia, Maria Lipman, Oleg Manaev, Marintha Miles, Olena
Nikolayenko, Sarah Oates, Tamara Pataraia, Elisabeth Schimpfossl,
Abdulfattoh Shafiev, Jack Snyder, Tudor Vlad, and Ilya Yablokov,
aims at understanding the deeper overall 'media philosophies' that
characterize post-Soviet media systems and environments, and the
type of identity formation that they are promoting.
