Through extensive research and testimonies from those involved, this book presents an in-depth account from the 1970s to today of the major issues concerning information flow in international geopolitics, including a look at the negotiations surrounding the major policy debates. Few studies of NWICO and WSIS have considered the continuity between the two activities – or included in the debate the crucial intermediary period between – and this book provides new insight into an issue of multilingual and multicultural importance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e   PART I: On the Agenda: NWICO\u003cbr\u003e  Correlations between NWICO and Information Society: Reflections of a NWICO actor – Mustapha Masmoudi\u003cbr\u003e  The history of NWICO and its lessons – Kaarle Nordenstreng\u003cbr\u003e  NWICO: Reuters’ Gerald Long versus UNESCO’s Seán MacBride – Michael Palmer\u003cbr\u003e  IPS, an alternative source of news: From NWICO to civil society – Patricio Tupper\u003cbr\u003e  New scenarios for the Right to Communicate in Latin America – Gustavo Gonzalez Rodriguez\u003cbr\u003e  Past witnesses’ present comments – Hıfzı Topuz\u003cbr\u003e  PART II: Shifting Sands \u003cbr\u003e  The Right to Communicate – A continuing victim of historic links to NWICO and UNESCO? – Alan McKenna\u003cbr\u003e  ‘Going Digital’: A historical perspective on early international cooperation in informatics – Julia Pohle\u003cbr\u003e  ICTs, discourse and knowledge societies: Implications for policy and practice – Robin Mansell\u003cbr\u003e  Past witnesses’ present comments – Alain Modoux\u003cbr\u003e  PART III: Changing the agenda: WSIS and the future\u003cbr\u003e  Towards Knowledge Societies in UNESCO and beyond – J.P.
