Book Synopsis Communications Media, Globalization, and Empire by : Oliver Boyd-Barrett
Download or read book Communications Media, Globalization, and Empire written by Oliver Boyd-Barrett and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2007-02-20 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An exploration of the political economy of media, and to what extent global communications and popular entertainment continue to serve elite interests. In Communications Media, Globalization, and Empire, an international team of experts analyzes and critiques the political economy of media communications worldwide. Their analysis takes particular account of the sometimes conflicting pressures of globalization and “neo-imperialism.” The first is commonly defined as the dismantling of barriers to trade and cultural exchange and responds significantly to lobbying of the world’s largest corporations, including media corporations. The second concerns US pursuit of national security interests as response to “terrorism,” at one level and, at others, to intensifying competition among both nations and corporations for global natural resources.
