It explores the ways in which contexts, structures, policies and processes at national and international levels shape media structures and explores how a political economy-inspired approach can be used to understand both media dominance and resistance. It deals with a variety of issues that are key to understanding the political economy of communication-from intellectual property to audio-visual trade and media ownership, liberalisation, privatisation, and media politics.
