L'Organizatsiya
En moins de dix ans, la mafia russe a opéré une formidable montée en puissance, débordant son territoire traditionnel pour submerger l'Europe, le Moyen-Orient et l'Amérique du Nord : Paris, Anvers, Lausanne, Berlin, Brooklyn connaissent désormais les stigmates de cette criminalité eurasienne qui, pour la seule Russie, rassemble 5 700 gangs, 100 000 bras armés et plusieurs centaines de nouveaux parrains venus du froid. Comment en est-on arrivé là ? « L'Organizatsiya » se focalise sur le centre nerveux de cette nébuleuse criminelle, en retraçant l'histoire d'une poignée d'hommes — une vingtaine tout au plus — qui ont gagné le pari de régenter l'Unterwelt, de s'allier à la...
Global Media and National Policies
Conventional wisdom views globalization as a process that heralds the diminishing role or even 'death' of the state and the rise of transnational media and transnational consumption. Global Media and National Policies questions those assumptions and shows not only that the nation-state never left but that it is still a force to be reckoned with. With contributions that look at global developments and developments in specific parts of the world, it demonstrates how nation-states have adapted to globalization and how they still retain key policy instruments to achieve many of their policy objectives. This book argues that the phenomenon of media globalization has been overstated, and that national governments remain key players in shaping the media environment, with media corporations responding to the legal and policy frameworks they deal with at a national level.

Handbook of South American Governance
Governance in South America is signified by strategies pursued by state and non-state actors directed to enhancing (some aspect of) their capabilities and powers of agency. It is about the spaces and the practices available, demanded or created to ‘make politics happen’. This framework lends explanatory power to understand how governance has been defined and practiced in South America. Pía Riggirozzi and Christopher Wylde bring together leading experts to explore what demands and dilemmas have shaped understanding and practice of governance in South America in and across the region. The Handbook suggests that governance dilemmas of inequitable and unfulfilled political economic governan...
Digital Inequalities in the Global South
This book discusses how digital inequalities today may lead to other types of inequalities in the Global South. Contributions to this collection move past discussing an access problem – a binary division between ‘haves and have-nots’ – to analyse complex inequalities in the internet use, benefits, and opportunities of people in the Global South region. Using specific case studies, this book underlines how communities in the Global South are now attempting to participate in the information age despite high costs, a lack of infrastructure, and more barriers to entry. Contributions discuss the recent changes in the Global South. These changes include greater technological availability, the spread of digital literacy programs and computer courses, and the overall growth in engagement of people from different backgrounds, ethnicities, and languages in digital environments. This book outlines and evaluates the role of state and public institutions in facilitating these changes and consequently bridging the digital divide.
Marx and the Political Economy of the Media
More than 130 years after Karl Marx’s death and 150 years after the publication of his opus magnum Capital: Critique of Political Economy, capitalism keeps being haunted by period crises. The most recent capitalist crisis has brought back attention to Marx’s works. This volume presents 18 contributions that show how Marx’s analyses of capitalism, the commodity, class, labour, work, exploitation, surplus-value, dialectics, crises, ideology, class struggles, and communism help us to understand media, cultural and communications in 21st century informational capitalism. Marx is back! This book is a key resource on the foundations of Marxist Media, Cultural and Communication Studies.

La TV que no se ve
Innumerables factores condicionaron el desarrollo y las características de la tv argentina. Quien se detenga en ellos irá descubriendo una urdimbre de relaciones sociales, luchas políticas, cuestiones técnicas, factores culturales e intereses económicos, a menudo invisibles, o cuando menos difusos. Estas páginas intentan indagar sobre ese desarrollo, siempre en referencia a otros modelos televisivos latinoamericanos y atendiendo a los factores condicionantes, es decir, las luchas políticas y económicas, tanto como las corrientes de pensamiento dominantes en el campo académico y las que lograban cristalizar como “sentido común” de cada época. Con las imaginables e inevitables limitaciones de una empresa tan ambiciosa, se pretende avanzar en un esfuerzo integrador nada neutral, que opta por un particular modo de ver lo menos visible de esta industria de la mirada. Industria que es también una herramienta especial en la lucha por definir la manera legítima de comprender el mundo.
