This edited volume addresses current challenges, trends and
transformations in global communication governance. Exploring
changes in the actors, issues, values and contexts of media and
communications, it investigates the crossroads that media policy is
facing and offers visions for the future. A diverse range of
scholars and expert practitioners discuss what regulatory reforms
and governing mechanisms are required to advance democratic
participation and fundamental rights in platform societies.
Organized around five sections, the volume considers the
geopolitics of emerging communication orders; the changing roles of
actors and stakeholders; the challenge of embedding rights and
values in regulatory arrangements; the intersection of technology
and policy; and the need to rethink epistemologies and
methodologies for researching this field. Contributions from
different disciplines and cultural backgrounds include provocative
think pieces and longer analyses. All chapters are grounded in
historically-aware understandings of contemporary transformations,
while anticipating dynamics of our communication
futures. Â
