TY - GEN T1 - Media and sovereignty : the global information revolution and its challenge to state power A1 - Price, Monroe E., 1938- LA - English PP - Cambridge, Mass. PB - MIT Press YR - 2002 UL - https://ebooks.jgu.edu.in/Record/ebsco_acadsubs_ocm52289304 AB - Media have been central to government efforts to reinforce sovereignty and define national identity, but globalization is fundamentally altering media practices, institutions, and content. More than the activities of large conglomerates, globalization entails competition among states as well as private entities to dominate the world's consciousness. Changes in formal and informal rules, in addition to technological innovation, affect the growth and survival or decline of governments. In Media and Sovereignty, Monroe Price focuses on emerging foreign policies that govern media in a world where war has information as well as military fronts. Price asks how the state, in the face of institutional and technological change, controls the forms of information reaching its citizens. He also provides a framework for analyzing the techniques used by states to influence populations in other states. Price draws on an international array of examples of regulation of media for political ends, including "self-regulation," media regulation in conflict zones, the control of harmful and illegal content, and the use of foreign aid to alter media in target societies OP - 317 CN - K4240 .P75 2002eb SN - 9780262281904 SN - 0262281902 SN - 0585448493 SN - 9780585448497 SN - 0262162113 SN - 9780262162111 KW - Mass media : Law and legislation.
