Global Communication Governance at the Crossroads
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.
Policy Diffusion and Telecommunications Regulation
This study investigates regulatory reforms in the telecommunications sector of Middle Eastern and North African (MENA) countries. It explores telecommunications innovations in three developing economies (Morocco, Jordan and Egypt), with a focus on regional and European trends in telecommunications policies. Common knowledge suggests that the European Union and its member states are the main influential regulatory power in the MENA region. However, the empirical analysis of selected telecommunications regulations: universal service obligation (USO) and spectrum management, reveals that reforms are not always determined by European countries but may also originate from other developing countries, such as Peru and Chile. This finding attests to the rise of regulatory influence from the Global South, which challenges traditional transfers of regulations originating from more industrially advanced countries.
Resisting Europe
Resisting Europe conceptualizes the foreign policies of Europe—defined as the European Union and its member states—toward the states in its immediate southern “neighborhood” as semi-imperial attempts to turn these states into Europe’s southern buffer zone, or borderlands. In these hybrid spaces, different types of rules and practices coexist and overlap, and negotiations over meaning and implementation take place. This book examines the diverse modalities by which states in the Mediterranean Middle East and North Africa (MENA) reject, resist, challenge, modify, or entirely change European policies and preferences and provides rich empirical evidence of these contestation practices ...
Media and Communications Policy Making
This textbook focuses on how media and communications policy is made and what influences its design. It explores the structures and processes in which policymaking takes place worldwide, the factors that determine its forms, influence its elements, and affect its outcomes. It explores how to analyze policy proposals, evaluate policy, and use policy studies approaches to examine policy and policymaking. Truly international in scope, it lays out the variety of political, social, economic, and institutional influences on policy, the roles of industries and policy advocates in the processes, and issues and factors that complicate effective policymaking and skew policy outcomes. This textbook is a valuable resource for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students.
Félicien Rops
La présence de textes manuscrits et de dessins originaux en marge des eaux-fortes de Félicien Rops est, par son ampleur - plus de deux cents œuvres répertoriées - et la qualité de son exécution, une pratique exceptionnelle dans la gravure du XIXe siècle. Quittant Bruxelles et Namur pour Paris vers 1876, Rops a réussi en une quinzaine d'années à s'imposer en France comme un aquafortiste virtuose. À la recherche de procédés et de sujets neufs, l'étrangeté de son art fascine l'amateur comme il agace l'expert, tant il est difficile d'identifier ses procédés de gravure, qui recourent souvent aux techniques de reproduction photomécaniques et mettent à mal la notion d'originalité de l'œuvre. Ces pages, qui inventorient les mille et une fantaisies du graveur, fournissent un élément décisif de compréhension d'une œuvre déjà singulière quant aux domaines qu'elle explore et témoignent de la nature même de l'acte créateur de Félicien Rops.
