Over the past half century, western democracies have lead efforts
to entrench the economic and political values of liberal democracy
into the foundations of European and international public order. As
this book details, the relationship between the media and the state
has been at the heart of those efforts. In that relationship, often
framed in constitutional principles, the liberal democratic state
has celebrated the liberty to publish information and entertainment
content, while also forcefully setting the limits for harmful or
offensive expression. It is thus a relationship rooted in the
state's need for security, authority, and legitimacy as much as
liberalism's powerful arguments for economic and political freedom.
In Europe, this long running endeavour has yielded a market based,
liberal democratic regional order that has profound consequences
for media law and policy in the member states. This book examines
the economic and human rights aspects of European media law, which
is not only comparatively coherent but also increasingly
restrictive, rejecting alternatives that are well within the
traditions of liberalism. Parallel efforts in the international
sphere have been markedly less successful. In international media
law, the division between trade and human rights remains largely
unabridged and, in the latter field, liberal democratic concepts of
free speech are influential but rarely decisive. In the
international sphere states are moreover quick to assert their
rights to autonomy. Nonetheless, the current communications
revolution has overturned fundamental assumptions about the media
and the state around the world, eroding the boundaries between
domestic and foreign media as well as mass and personal
communication. European and International Media Law sets legal and
policy developments in the context of this fast changing,
globalized media and communications sector.
