This volume brings together scholars and policymakers to address
the issue of telecommunications policy in developing countries. It
elaborates on the position that economics and technology determine
the framework for discussion, but politics makes the decision.
Politics, in this case, refers to the dynamics of the power
structure generated by the historical and contemporary context of
state, social, economic, and cultural forces. The chapter authors
address the system of information transportation -- the
telecommunications sector in developing countries ranging from
low-income countries with overburdened, rural roads in south Asia
and Africa trying to catch up to digitalized fibre-optic
superhighways in middle income countries such as Singapore.
This volume interrogates what "global" means in the context of "communication," and who benefits from global communication practices and industries. Emerging scholars contribute their unique perspectives in communication scholarship, charting innovative directions for research that connects empirical evidence with pressing questions of social significance. This critical reflection leads to considering problems that result from the way global communication becomes mobilized, in the practice of journalism and development as well as the ICT industry. Global Communication defines the term "globalization," through understanding the cultural geography of global, regional, national, and local media. Critical evaluations of media production, distribution, and consumption practices, within cultural contexts, offer insights into how people "mediate" the global. Chapters draw attention to communications in Latin America, the Arab World, and South Asia, complicating territorial boundaries and exploring how local audience and industry practices work within global as well as local configurations.
