About this book
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.

Reviews
"The field of communication law and policy has been crying out for a new volume on global media governance and this collection answers the call. Not only does it provide up to date research, but expands the conversation to include new areas, perspectives, theories, and methodologies. Most importantly, it offers a truly global perspective, with authors and outlooks from around the world." —Christopher Ali, PhD, Pioneers Chair in Telecommunications, Professor of Telecommunications, Penn State University.
