The book offers a critical map to navigate the field of media governance. A thread of cosmopolitan critique connects the fourteen chapters to enhance media governance literature beyond the West and regional foci. The first part addresses the epistemological and ontological flaws in the use and adaptation of media governance. The second part opens pathways for critique and provides a thorough understanding of the ambivalences that scholars encounter when addressing media governance as a field of study. The third part highlights shortcomings like geographical narrowness and tensions in the use of media governance concepts. The scholarly contributions show that media governance as a field of study is far from being established: its conceptualizations are in flux and need scholarly self-reflection, and ongoing discussions need to leave behind universalist conceptualizations and methods of analysis. The chapters reflect on hegemony, power, sovereignty, and identity as conceptual center points in media governance research. The book uniquely breaks with self-referential Western academia and is part of ongoing collaborative scholarly efforts towards epistemic transformation through dialogue.

Until the 1980s, it was presumed that technical change in most communications services could easily be monitored from centralized state and federal agencies. This presumption was long outdated prior to the commercialization of the Internet. With the Internet, the long-forecast convergence of voice, video, and text bits became a reality. Legislation, capped by the Telecommunications Act of 1996, created new quasi-standards such as "fair" and "reasonable" for the FCC and courts to apply, leading to nonstop litigation and occasional gridlock. This book addresses some of the many telecommunications areas on which public policy makers, corporate strategists, and social activists must reach agreement. Topics include the regulation of access, Internet architecture in a commercial era, communications infrastructure development, the Digital Divide, and information policy issues such as intellectual property and the retransmission of TV programming via the Internet.

Digital technologies have prompted the emergence of new modes of regulation and governance, since they allow for more decentralized processes of elaboration and implementation of norms. Moreover, the Internet has been raising a wide set of governance issues since it affects many domains, such as individual rights, public liberties, property rights, economic competition, market regulation, conflict management, security and the sovereignty of states. There is therefore a need to understand how technical, political, economic and social norms are articulated, as well as to understand who the main actors of this process of transformation are, how they interact and how these changes may influence international rulings. This book brings together an international team of scholars to explain and analyse how collective regulations evolve in the broader context of the development of post-modern societies, globalization, the reshaping of international relations and the profound transformations of nation-states.

Samenlevingen zijn voortdurend in beweging. Interculturele contacten worden geïntensifieerd in een dynamisch samenspel van economische, technologische, politieke en sociale processen. De wereld wordt een 'Global Village' (McLuhan), culturele en etnische diversiteit worden kenmerkend voor onze samenlevingen. De beeldvorming van andere culturele en etnische groepen verloopt hoofdzakelijk via de media. Media hoeven zich evenwel niet te beperken tot het verspreiden van beelden over etnisch-culturele groepen, ze zijn bij uitstek geschikte kanalen om vorm te geven aan een positieve houding tegenover het multiculturele karakter van de samenleving. Via de media kan worden aangetoond dat culturele diversiteit culturele rijkdom betekent. Ondanks -of juist door -het belang van de media in de multiculturele samenleving, staat hun rol meer dan ooit ter discussie. Het etnisch-culturele reveil, talloze regionalismen en de roep om meer culturele eigenheid is de grootste paradox van de laatste decennia. De wereld globaliseert, lokale conflicten zijn evenwel niet minder virulent. Over de verantwoordelijkheden van de media in dergelijke samenleving en hun perspectieven in de multiculturele communicatiestructuren en -stromen, organiseerde het 'Centrum voor Mediasociologie' van de Sectie Communicatiewetenschappen Vrije Universiteit Brussel, in samenwerking met de Secties Communicatiewetenschappen van de Universiteit Gent en de Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, het XVe Vlaams Congres voor Communicatiewetenschappen. Deze publicatie is de eerste in een nieuwe reeks 'Media en Maatschappij'. Binnen- en buitenlandse onderzoekers werkten eraan mee.
