Featuring specially commissioned chapters from experts in the
field of media and communications law, this book provides an
authoritative survey of media law from a comparative
perspective.
The handbook does not simply offer a synopsis of the state of
affairs in media law jurisprudence, rather it provides a better
understanding of the forces that generate media rules, norms, and
standards against the background of major transformations in the
way information is mediated as a result of democratization,
economic development, cultural change, globalization and
technological innovation.
The book addresses a range of issues including:
- Media Law and Evolving Concepts of Democracy
- Network neutrality and traffic management
- Public Service Broadcasting in Europe
- Interception of Communication and Surveillance in Russia
- State secrets, leaks and the media
A variety of rule-making institutions are considered, including
administrative, and judicial entities within and outside
government, but also entities such as associations and corporations
that generate binding rules. The book assesses the emerging role of
supranational economic and political groupings as well as
non-Western models, such as China and India, where cultural
attitudes toward media freedoms are often very different.
